They stopped on the way at a gas station and got us Honey Buns. Our mom gave us a blanket that was in the front seat. When we got to the bar, they left us in the car. It was only supposed to be for a little while, but I guess they forgot. Matt and Sam and I fell asleep and did not wake up until the cops came and opened the doors". The Blessing Many of you are going to be surprised with what I am about to say, but as soon as I realized this was a christian novel I lost all hope on the book. I took me several days for me to find the motivation to sit down and tackle it.  But guess what? Once I started, I just couldn't put it down.
