Thank God. Today my friend's sister and I were almost mowed down by this driver who had eyes only on the right side of his head. I was unscathed as I was further away... but my little friend (only 13 years old) had a long scratch on her leg. We laughed over the dangling skin after she cooled down from screaming at the driver. I can't imagine why he would miss noticing us crossing the road - but thank God his car was stationary at that time, and he didn't accelerate too much else we would've been pancakes. Delifrance tuna oozing from my gut. Arrrgh.

In the evening, two friends and I paid a visit to one of our charges in a volunteer program I was involved in. She is a grandma, but her children are absent from her life. Only a daughter-in-law looks after her (without her son's help) and the family is plunged into financial difficulty. I'm very amazed by the kindness of her d-i-l, who has two very lovely children. Throughout the visit, the 2 year old girl screamed when I didn't give her my attention. She was quite cool to my other two friends though. The granny cried when she mentioned her absent son. :-( Anyway, she was visibly relieved after we prayed for her, even though she was a non-christian. We prayed for her to be able to sleep at night. )

I walked away from the visit thinking that women can be really strong when adversity hits. Just recently, I had news of an ex-student being dumped by her boyfriend after she was made pregnant. Her baby's now 6 months old and she's working hard to support her. I know a few other friends who were also dumped by their husbands. And I know a guy who's behaving very childishly by splurging all his money on a car after being dumped by his fiancee.

I'm on the verge of saying men are.... But who'm I do judge? :-/ Insanity overtakes all of us at one time.

Psst :
This site has great counselling podcasts on all kinds of abuse.
