WATCH OUT FOR SINKHOLES!

Last night we were on our way home and made a turn we've made many times. As we came onto the street, it was as if our car was being swallowed up, with sounds--and clatterings--coming out from under the engine, making us wonder if the motor was falling out or something. Milton kept driving--to get us out of whatever we were in--and we clang-banged onto straight pavement, and then we turned toward each other, staring, and said, "What in the world was that?" and I said, "You reckon our car is torn up?" He drove a few feet further with no trouble, then u-turned and shined the headlights on The Thing.

In the pitch darkness, we saw that The Thing was a sinkhole over six feet wide. We had driven through it. I had my camera with me and snapped a pic.

We called and reported it, and then Milton stood in the road to alert other drivers. Funny thing, though. They didn't want to heed his warnings. Several proceeded to drive straight toward it until Milton yelled like a banshee, and then they finally slowed, shined their headlights on it, and saw the danger. One said he thought Milton was a drunk.

This reminds me of souls who are on a sure path to eternal damnation unless they heed the warnings.

Lord, help people to find You, the Way, the Truth, the Life. And Lord, help us Christians witness more. Give us a fresh hunger, a fresh fire in our souls for You, oh, Lord.

I saw it today, and a worker said it's seven feet deep. Florida's had a lot of rain lately. This is what caused it, he said.
