Snow Days or should that be daze...

Thought two in one day--go figure, must be snowed in or something...

Well here it is day 4 of the snow days... hard to believe we have had as much snow as we have had lately. Sunday it was treacherous out on the roads. Woke up to several inches of the white stuff in the street and watched even the police not able to get up the drive way to the police car park without a bit of help. The police van was parked in the street covered in snow... the grit trucks hadn’t even been by and the pavement was covered and slick. Our back carpark was too full of snow to even think about clearing it away and now it is today and there is only more snow than was there before... finally have the front pavement cleared and non-slippery with plenty of grit down, one of few in the City centre.

Well with all this white stuff lying about it was decided that the wise thing to do was to hold off on having services on the Sunday. But what a challenge to my thinking, it went totally against what was to be on offer in the study of Hebrews we have been on for the past six weeks, errrr, 11 months... finally in chapter 10 and one of the main verses is verse 25 which reminds us; “not to forsake the assembling of yourselves together...” oh the dilemma—should we be safe or live up to this verse... now the funniest part of this is that in September I had sat with our church secretary and set out the preaching schedule through the end of the year and this was right on schedule 28 November, Hebrews 10:19 to Hebrews 11:1... 

Now tell me God doesn’t have a sense of humour...

Till the next time,

Rev. Jon
