When we moved to Hunterâs Pointe in June 1987, I was thrilled. At that time Center Grove was just beginning to grow, and it felt like we had shifted from urban to country. But most of all, I loved having an extra room downstairs to contain all the kidsâ toys. No more tripping over Lego structures or baby dolls on the way to the kitchen!
Fast-forward 32 years and voila! Thatâs the same room our kids now fight over when they visit.
Most days in Hunterâs Pointe are typical suburbiaâcyclists, folks walking their dogs, runners, mothers pushing strollers, and a constant to-work, come-home traffic flow.
This past Wednesday our neighborhood flooded (literally) confusion. While West Crooked Lane is getting a much-needed facelift, a broken water main created a river. Personnel from both the paving company and Bargersville Water Company literally met in the middle.
Our typical neighborhood now felt like a disaster zone. Orange cones and hardhat construction workers redirected traffic. Water surged into the ripped apart concrete streets. The crushed stone base sank swamp-like.
Upheavals like this precipitate instant life-changesâboil water, stay home, etc.
Such is life this side of Heaven! Weâre often cast into chaos. We can be walking on level ground one moment when troubles surge. Then who saves us? Itâs simple.
âWhen you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.â Isaiah 43:2-3
