Risk Repeated

I was deeply affected once when I was called out to a crisis, where a man had "lost it", and was threatening his wife with a gun. I walked into the house (the front door was open), and came face to face with the man, holding a revolver. It seems hard to understand that it affected me so deeply -- but it did. Years later, I received a call. A woman told me that a husband was threatening his wife with a gun. Could I please come over? No! I couldn't do this. But I did. There was no husband, and no gun, and the wife said she knew nothing about it. OBSERVATION: One does strangely encounter "tall tales" in ministry. I believe they call it "swatting" in the USA.
