Epic Fail

A couple of weeks ago, we decided to go somewhere up north for a day of devotion and prayer. So one sunday in June we went to the early service at church and we left right after, destination: Christopher Creek. We start driving and we do not have directions but somehow we get to the right area, now the problem is to find how to get to the creek. Long story short we find the creek, and we are walking along it to find a place where to sit and eat. We find this big rock in the creek so we decide to sit on it and eat. The creek looks gorgeous: Here is the funny thing...as soon as we sit on the rock it starts pouring...so the blanket that we brought to sit on, has now a different purpose:
Needless to say we spent more time driving than on the actual site.

Incredible story!

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating fromNorthwestern University. On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day. Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man. Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.
Probably wasn't the same elephant..
