His nostrils flared and his eyes developed a frightened, psycho-crazy look. My father's stomping footsteps behind me came to a sudden halt, and I knew without even twitching that he saw the moose. The moose tilted his head, snorted, and pawed the earth. Then I heard it-my father's calm voice. Without turning around, slowly come straight back and join me.
Some situations offer more trouble than one person can handle alone.
I don't know what would have happened if my father had been farther away, or if the moose would have attacked if I had panicked and run. Fortunately, I listened to the advice of my father and followed it. I now live 600 miles away from my father, and he's no longer right behind me to look out for me. But he has always encouraged me to follow the directions of Jesus Christ written in the Scriptures. The Bible provides advice that keeps people out of trouble.
