The period of Christmas et al and er.. police escort

It´s that season that we all look forward to. Well not for everyone it seems. Some people just can stand the commercialism that goes along with it. Thank God, i got over that long time ago. For me and my family, it´s always been the celebration of the birth of Jesus. Okay, we do set up a Christmas tree and all get to decorate it, send cards to all the neighbours on our street every year. This year, i felt like doing something extra in reaching out: we gave every house a copy of my latest CD and they all graciously received it. Some with great surprise to discover, a singer was on the same street! Some of the kids with wide eyes. A story blessed me. One of the children was sick with high fever. But while she laid down in their sitting room, they played my CD and the next morning she was all up and running. I thank God for making us a blessing. Got a few cards back. Now that is christmas.. Ah the turkey, we decided to do the turkey again this year. Pre-ordered and then I drove down to pick it up from the local supermarket. While looking for a place to park all kinds of dashboard lights flashing, Cd player/radio stopped and my 7 seater stopped moving right in the middle of the parking lot! Had to call the local ANWB. They could only come withing an hour. Long story, the dynamo had packed up! I just got this van second hand 5 days before! merry Christmas :- A busy..ish Christmas period it was, seeing that there were church services on the 23rd,24th and of course the 25th! In addition to the Christmas eve programme, I had an invitation to minister in music at another venue, and when i contacted them about a few weeks before to get a draft of the programme, got told that there was a double booking of me and a choir, so no gig :-( However, I had turned down another concert with the Rainbow Gospel Singers for this programme, and now I was free to be there happily. Their loss unfortunately. So, I set off from Leiderdorp with my wife and daughters to the Haarlem venue at 9pm. We did get there with our navigator alright, but the specific location proved more elusive, so we were turning left and right, hitting blocades. Then I noticed a police van behind us, obviously (to me) following us. then, the flashing indicating please stop. oops. No fear, i´ve done nothing wrong. So, I asked the police woman that walked up to us, hi, is there a problem. She goes to me, we were swerving along the road. She checked the licence. i then told here I was off to a church concert to sing and was trying to find the way. She noted the navigated and realised we were not local. So, over comes her partner policeman and he insisted on doing a sobriety test, blow here please! They believed our story.Now tried to help us get where we were going, and decided, they´ll lead us there. So, we had a POLICE ESCORT to the venue, arriving just 15 minutes before I had to be on stage. What a night! Hope you had a good one.
