An entire year had gone by.  Exactly. And then it happened.  Someone penetrated our compound.  It's not all that hard to scale the wall.  I used to be able to do it.  They went into the carport and scattered things we have stored there.  Made quite a mess.  Didn't find anything of interest.  Cut the security bars on the downstairs bedroom window.  And then got scared off.  Joseph went outside to burn trash in the middle of the night.  Did that scare them off?  We cannot say.  By God's grace is was nothing more than that.  Had they penetrated the bedroom they could have stolen a floor fan and a desk lamp.  Nothing more.  Then when they went to open the door to enter the rest of the house, a loud crash would have invaded their senses.  Our low tech security system works very well.  You turn the door handle and down goes a  tin  cup.  That would have scared them right back out the window and over the wall.  But our real security, our real protection, is in the Lord.   We trust in Him.
