He drove through the warm
summer night. He wasn't afraid of being stopped. He was going
camping, wasn't he? That was perfectly legal, even approved of. The
healthy outdoors. And yes, it was late at night, but he worked long
hours, didn't he? He had to go camping when he could. He had a
sleeping bag, food in the cupboards of the little van, and it was
perfect camping weather. Why would anyone suspect any different?
Even if he was stopped by a booze-bus, he hadn't drunk any alcohol.
Alcohol was the snare of the Devil, like all drugs, and led to Evil.
And now that he was Chosen of the Lord, he had set aside all Evil.
He had been in the grip of Satan and his demons when he had used
drugs and he gave thanks every day to the Lord that he had been saved
from sin through Jesus' grace.
The journey took a little
over forty-five minutes. At that time of the night there was little
traffic. No booze-buses, no police cars. He was very careful to
keep within the speed limit, but even then, the trip to Mt Macedon
didn't take long.
As the little van
laboured up the steep ascent to the summit, he felt the excitement
within him begin to build.
