police?” 

I've never had a scam go this far in my life. I wasn't quite sure what
to do. I confess I was having fun with this. It is not always I can 
have this kind of fun. Is it wrong for a husband to have this kind of 
fun with his wife? I'm not up on all of the PC activities that are 
prevalent today. 

Nothing I wanted more than for her to call the police. That would have
not only made my day but the rest of my life. Whenever there would be a 
silent moment, I could always bring up the question, "Do you remember 
when you called the police because you thought there was a riot in our 
backyard?" 

It was hard for me to hold back my infamous snicker. I tried as best I
could, but I guess I failed. 

Looking at me, she said, "Why are you snickering?" 

“I'm not.” 

“Look at me. Yes, you are snickering. Why are you snickering?” 

I guess it was time for me to come clean about the whole situation. I
would have loved for it to go just a little longer. After all, such 
things only come once in a lifetime. 

I cleared my throat and finally told her that what she was hearing was a
severe thunderstorm with lightning. That's all it was, just mother 
nature clearing her throat. 

She stared at me, one of her stares, then turned over and went back to
sleep. 

The next morning I got up, went to the kitchen and turned on the coffee
pot. In a few moments, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage came into 
the kitchen. 

"Well," I chirped, "how was your night?" 

I got a stare still burning in my brain now. 

Throughout the day a verse of Scripture came to my mind. “Every way of a
man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts” 
(Proverbs 21:2). 

What we may think something is may not be exactly what it is. I need to
rest my thoughts on God.
