I was reviewing some notes I jotted down during my family's trip to Arizona over Christmas. I remembered one observation I never had a chance to document.
My dad was driving us into Phoenix to Sky-Harbor Airport and we were on one of the major east-west highways. A police car passed us and was ahead of us for a while, when all of a sudden he moved from the far left lane (four-lane road), all the way over to the far right, then back to the far left lane. He continued this back-and-forth pattern, slowing down as he went.
We realized we were supposed to slow down and not pass him. Probably some sort of traffic problem ahead (accident perhaps?). So we...well I...began to be concerned about whether we would make our flight, etc.
All of a sudden, Dad said out loud, "Okay Lord, we need Your wisdom to know what to do next." ~Pause~ Then he took the next exit. We felt our way through North Phoenix for a while, until we were able to get back on the highway, past whatever problem there was.
We made our flight.
It was really neat to see Dad's almost casual reaction (admittedly better than mine) to the situation. I wish God and I talked as easily.
