Google Maps
Sacred Stories Google maps on her phone told her to get off I 65. They were south of Louisville.
Never had Google maps just told her to get off. If something was going to cause a delay—an accident or construction, the app had always offered an alternative route, leaving the choice to her.
The “unusual” behavior caught her attention!
She decided to follow the prompt because it was so unusual.
The detour was uneventful, and put them back on I 65 avoiding a complete accident-related shutdown.

Obituary

It was not.
“Is your mother-in-law ill?” the co-worker asked.
“I have no idea. I haven’t had contact with her in years.”
Two days later, she found out her mother-in-law actually had died that day, but it wasn’t in the paper yet!

Sycamore Tree
Sacred Stories She was at a picnic with some of her church friends when she was drawn to a beautiful autumn tree. She spontaneously walked over and gave it a hug.
Then suddenly she felt a strong urge to tell the Bible story of Zacchaeus, a tax collector. A short man, wanting to see Jesus, he climbed up in a sycamore tree. The story says that Jesus looked up in the tree, called Zacchaeus by name, and told him to come down because Jesus was coming home with him. Shocking.
As she finished telling the story, a man in the group called her over to see something he had on his computer screen.
“I thought you would appreciate knowing that the tree you just hugged is a sycamore,” he said.
