A radio host commuting to work in Sealy, Texas, on Wednesday, December 18, got the shock of a lifetime when she spotted Rowdy, a 5-foot-tall escaped pet kangaroo, hopping near a truck stop.

The sighting marks the latest development in the search for the 70-pound pet kangaroo who escaped from his enclosure.

"When I came outside and saw his empty enclosure, it was devastating. We just want him back," owner Marsha Matus told local news. "We bottle-fed him as a baby, and he's been part of our family ever since."

Ok, the craziest thing you've ever seen on your way to work, go.

I want to spend my life in serving you in those ways.

Let me ask you to turn in your Bible, if you would to Psalm chapter 84.

Because sometimes as we talk about someone like Anna or Miss Dorothy, some people may think that, I don't know if that's the kind of life I really want.

Sounds a little bit.
