In January of 2018, the Bush family were pulled from sleep at 4 a.m. by a loud noise inside

their Utah home.

They did the same thing any of us would do.

They climbed out of bed and nervously explored their house for signs of an intruder.

Nothing though was out of place or disturbed.

Later that morning though, they discovered where the noise had come from.

A sinkhole had opened in their garage floor.

But while that might be shocking enough, it wasn't the most unusual part of their experience.

No, it's what they found in the newly opened cavity that was truly frightening.

In the space that had existed below their garage, they discovered shelves, clothing, a woman's

handbag, even a small collection of children's toys.

Together it all hinted at a disturbing truth.

For as long as they lived there, there was a room beneath their home that had once been

used by people on a regular basis.

Some people think it was an old section of the basement that had been walled off during

a remodel in the 1970s, while others believe it might have been a bomb shelter.

Whatever it was, the Bush family had never been aware of its existence.

I think it's fair to say that most of us live very busy lives.

We spend our days bouncing between responsibilities and commitments, and in the process, we sometimes

miss key details.

Maybe they're not as significant as a basement bomb shelter, but lots of things slip past

us during our crazy lives, and that can be dangerous.
