Middle of the Night Visitor

Our security system went off around 2:00 this morning. Naturally, Kate and I both sat up in bed and turned on the light. Aaron ran through our door a couple minutes later. The security alarm company called. Kate and Aaron sat on our bed while I walked down the stairs (which actually turned out to be scooting down the stairs on my backside due to my foot). I don't like hearing the alarm anytime but especially in the middle of the night. I went to re-set the alarm when I heard some noise coming from the backyard. The thought of someone being outside when I turned on the light didn't really scare me as much as it made me laugh to think of someone seeing a man in boxer shorts, bed head, a cast, and a couple crutches staring at them out the window. When I went to turn on the outside light, I saw two opposums. One scurried away. One stayed long enough for me to photograph. I do believe that God made all creatures wonderful in their own right, but I will have to ask Him why He made the opposum the way He did.
