Child Out Til Ten

My one and only is out there in the world by hisself!  He went to a Bible study, dinner, social time in Forsyth tonight.  And we let him get in the vehicle and drive down the road!  Oh my.

Call when you get there.  Call when you begin to head home.  Remember what to do in emergencies, stay focussed, make sure cell phone is on and charged, don't answer cell phone while driving, don't listen to the radio... etc. etc.  Sometimes I sit in amazement and ponder that people have been letting their children do these things for decades and they're not all raving lunatics.

I mean - do you think mothers have suffered these goofy fears when their kids first rode the family horse over to the neighbor's?  Yeah.  Probably.

BTW - child returned safe and sound around 9:30.  Only got lost twice and got scared cause a policeman put his sirens on behind him (he only wanted to pass Jbird).  The child has my poor sense of direction - bless his heart.

Brings to mind the Twila Paris song, "Do I Trust You Lord."

Yes Lord - I will trust You.
