A call from the night

   Last night around 2 in the morning an owl decided to roost around my house.  I think he/she was trying to catch the many rabbits that are hiding around my shed.  The owl let out several hoots that woke me up, but it was a call around 5:40AM that woke me up completely.  I swear that I heard someone yell out "Bret."  I was instantly awake but did not hear anything after that.  Cathy feels I was dreaming but I swear it was real.  Sort of like what Samuel heard when called by the Lord.

1 Samuel 3

1The boy Samuel ministered before the LORD under Eli. In those days the word of the LORD was rare; there were not many visions.

2One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place.

3The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple ^[1] of the LORD, where the ark of God was.

4Then the LORD called Samuel. Samuel answered, "Here I am."
