13．In our home it was natural to fear our father．Even our mother was afraid of him．As children，my sister and I thought every family was like that---that every family had an unpredictable dad who was impossible to please and a praying mom who was there to protect the children．We were good children．Mom was always telling us we were，even if daddy couldn't see it．
Then came the day we found something new and fun to do．We discovered we could draw pictures with chalk on our wooden front door．We could have lots of fun，so we set to work drawing and making lots of pretty pictures all over it．We had a great time．We decided to finish our pictures，knowing mom would just love them．
The praise we expected did not come．We did not understand why，but we knew all about anger，and that we were in big trouble!Off we ran to find a place to hide．In our wooded yard it was not hard for two small children to find safety．Together，we hid behind a tree and did not move．Soon we heard the frightened voices of mom and our neighbors calling out to us．We were afraid we would be found．The sun set，and it began to get dark．Those around us became more anxious，and we became more frightened．As we stayed together in the dark，we heard another voice，one we recognized with great fear：our daddy．But there was something strangely different about it．In it we heard something we had never heard before：fear and despair．Our daddy with tears running down his face，promising God his life for the safe return of his girls．
Things were different after that．We had a new daddy； it was as if the old one had been buried that day in the yard．Our whole family had been changed by one piece of chalk．
