A 7 year old girl got lost one day in San Francisco. Her parents could not find her for hours. When she returned, in the company of a police officer, the police officer told this story ...
I found her walking in an adjacent neighborhood and she was very upset. We sat together for awhile until she was able to stop crying and then began to drive around. We hoped we would find something that looked familiar to her, like a grocery store or even her own home. But this is what happened.
We found her church. She immediately recognized her church building and began getting very happy. Confidently, she told me, "This is my church. I can always find my way home from here."
And here she is, home.
Hey sister friends. We are better together!!!
Love you ... Pam

Awww! I know how to get home from church but I have no idea what any of the street names are.

Hey Pam, I freely told you for free, no money or strings attached... you have to pay me not to get you if you tell anyone who minniemomma is. Just kidding.
I'mmmmmmmmm backkkkkkkkk....
I wish I could say that I have a great sense of direction, but I don't. I always get turned around, I use the mountains as a landmark.
When I got lost in Oklahoma, there wasn't any mountains so I was totally lost. I had to call my mom on the cell and ask how to get home because I didn't have any huge landmark to go by. crazy
