A Movie Scene???

Today I was coming home from town and this little white car came at me from behind flashing it's lights and closer to my window a guy leaned out and screamed..."pull over. We're the police". I thought they were drunk or joking so I kept going. They sped in front of me and stopped, making me have to stop, too. I had some Argentine visitors with me and Edson. They all started praying when we saw four guys with four guns jump out of the car at us. They surrounded the car and one policeman pointed a gun at my (driver's) window and said, "open all the windows". I did, and asked, "what is going on" in unbelief! He looked in at all of us...gun pointing at my head. (The ladies in the back were still praying.) Then, he said. "Excuse me, Ma'am, there has been an armed robbery and this is the exact same car the the thieves were in. My advice would be to drive with all your windows down or you'll probably be stopped every mile down the road."
Here is the link from the ABC newspaper. (in Spanish)
Edson's version is quite interesting!
It was just so weird and so fast...I just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time...
Praise God for His daily protection!

Wow! That sounds like a drama scene for sure! I'm so glad they let you go on. Why have the windows down? What was Edson's version? I'm very thankful everything turned out OK for you and your visitors!

We are surrounded by such evil and such grace- it is only by the goodness of God that we are protected from the very worst of this life- or at least carried in His hands through the worst of it.

I, too, would love to hear Edson's version.
Love you- and am praying for that continued protection.
