FAMILY MATTERS

A walk in the country

GREG HANSCOM with contributions from MARY LESLIE HANSCOM

When I was in elementary school, I started taking guitar lessons at a home about a mile from the school. Most of that mile was in the country, so I asked my parents if I could walk. They said OK, so I walked to the next lesson.

When I got out to where there were no houses nearby, two men in a pickup truck stopped on the road next to me. One said, "Want a ride?" Then they laughed and mumbled things at me. I felt really scared, so I started to pray.

I just kept thanking God that He was there protecting me, as I was taught in the Christian Science Sunday School and at home. Suddenly the men drove off and I noticed another car coming from the other direction.
