Thank goodness I was wrong

You probably have heard about the Lenoir, N.C. woman who survived 5 days in her crashed pick-up truck 75 feet down in a ravine off the side of a road. The story has become nationwide news. I'm in N.C. now, so here the story wasn't just the that Amber Pennell had been found, we heard about it when she first went missing.

It was something like this: A man reports his young 21-year-old wife and mother of two missing at 2 a.m. She never came home from work. He said she was driving an unfamiliar car so he was worried about her and he was sure she didn't just choose to disappear because she would never leave her two young children without their mother. I'm not sure how this sounds to you, but to me it sounds like the getting-all-too-familiar Drew Peterson-esque story (speaking of Drew Peterson, no one is lately.... I guess the election got heated enough to become the media's main focus). I was convinced that this husband must have had something to do with his wife's disappearance. They searched for days for Amber. I saw her picture and heard no new news daily. And I really thought her husband was involved. I am soooooo happy I was wrong. What a blessing that Amber was found, ALIVE! They said the first thing she asked about was her children, then her husband.

I don't know what to think about Drew Peterson and I definitely don't know all the facts of either of these situations or the seemingly similar ones that are sprinkled in our news, but sometimes things are not as they seem. Good thing the police and search and rescue didn't stop believing. Always keep a positive outlook and hope for the best.
