See No Evil


You watch it on the news. You read it on the papers. You hear it over the radio. But you never imagine that it will happen to you.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I’ve just been flashed! Yes, some pervert walked towards my direction and showed me his full package! I’ve never been so disgusted and horrified all at the same time in my life – and all I could say was “in Jesus name!.”

It all happened yesterday afternoon at Publix’ parking lot (this is a supermarket, for those not from Miami). I was busy unloading the grocery on to the back of my SUV, but I noticed that there was this big white pick-up truck (either an F150 or a Tundra) that was approaching slowly. I thought that the driver was waiting for me to pull out so he can have my parking space. I never looked up to see, I just continued unloading the bags until I got done. Meantime, I noticed that the white truck chose to park to my left side, a car away from me. As I was fully backed out of my parking space ready to drive away, the driver of the white truck got out and came towards the back of his vehicle so that he would now be fully facing me. That was when I saw his entire manhood out in the open! Oh my God! (and this is an authentic cry unto the Lord, not an expletive)

I hurriedly drove away, but I turned around one more time to look at the man to check if maybe he'd run after me or what... but this time, he had his shirt over his manhood and he was walking back towards the driver’s seat. I also realized that there was nobody else in the parking lot but me and him!

Mind you, this happened shortly before 6:00 pm, so it was still in broad daylight. (For those of you in Miami, the Publix I’m talking about is in Crossings (corner 134 Ave & 112 St). I thought that maybe, the man just forgot to zip his fly?

I would never know the answer, not that I want to. Bottom line is, he exposed himself in public. I was so scared that I neglected to do one thing -- call the police. Yeah, I should have done it, but at that time, all I wanted to do was to get away.

I did another thing though. I prayed. After my initial reaction of horror and disgust, I felt compassion overtake my heart. What happened to him that he's become that perverted individual, I wondered? But God knows, so I lifted that man up to Him. I prayed for his salvation, that he would get to know Jesus as His Lord and Savior. And I prayed that the truth in Jesus would set that man free from his sexual perversion. In Jesus' name.

oh my goodness! how gross!
That's where the pre-school I used to work at is! The school is RIGHT NEXT to that Publix.
Some people are so sick.

oh no!!! It is a scary thing. And a very godly response to pray for him. Kevin says it happens to him all the time! LOL... The guy just wanted a reaction. If there should be a next time, just make a comment like "that's it?" make him feel embarrassed instead! But I think I would have made a run for it too!

Holly, that's exactly what my office mate told me to do. Make a hand gesture to tell him that "it" is small.. LOL... I also thought about the children. As Kristel said, there's a pre-school there, and the ballet school where a lot of kids also go!

A Recap of 2007

Image
Year 2007 is soon to be officially over in a couple of days. As I bid adieu to this year, I know that 2007 will definitely leave an indelible mark in my spirit. This year I have battled and fought, overcome and conquered the many obstacles that life brought my way. It all began in October 2006 when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, an invasive ductal carcinoma stage 4 which at that time had already metastasized to her bones, lymph nodes and skin. But even this horrible news did little, if anything, to put me down. I knew there would be an uphill battle ahead of me, but I prepared myself. I put on God's full armor and held on to God's promises in His word as tight as I could. So as the year 2007 came rolling in, I was ready. My heart was expectant of the Lord's miracles to take place in my life and in my family. I even went as far as boldly declaring 2007, being a year ending with the perfect number 7, as the year of PERFECTION - a year when everything in my life w

Shotgun Prayers

Lately I’ve been finding myself having quality time with God when I drive. It is embarrassing to admit, but it is when I am driving that I get my quiet, alone time with Him. Ironically, I am able to focus on the Lord very well despite the craziness of Miami's traffic. Within the four walls of my car I've poured out my heart and soul to the Lord. The car is privy to all these wonderful, sometimes desperate times with Him. If only my car can talk, I am sure that she would be able to tell you about my most fervent prayers, my secret longings and deepest sighs. But there are also those times that I find myself just throwing out one-line-prayers for someone, or for something. Like when an ambulance passes me by, I’d quickly say a prayer for the person in the rescue vehicle. Or, anytime when I see something in the street that moves me, I throw those one-liners out to God. Usually, these prayers are more like, “Bless that person Lord!” , “Help him/her live that she may know you !” O
