Murphee's law
When I was a kid, I had some health needs and I was taught Murphy's law. "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." Benson and Christina just had a trip like that. We awoke yesterday morning expecting to see their flight landing in London and instead we saw it circling over Atlantic City and then landing in NYC. They circled for 5 hours. Their rebooked flight arrived today...late, making them miss their next flight. Their rebooked flight got to Edinburgh circled and was diverted to Glasgow because Edinburgh air traffic control was down. (We got back just in time for the PM service with 5 minutes to spare.) God's good. We're glad they are finally here.
The Lord gave us a great morning as we had our first baptisms in our new sanctuary. We baptised a family of 3. The 11 year old's birthday was today making it even more special.
In Sunday School they shared their testimonies and then a couple other people shared their's as well. It took all of SS plus five minutes to do that. It was a blessing.
I preached this morning on, "The Joy of Jesus" from Isaiah 12 which speaks of the Lord's second coming and setting up of his Millenial Kingdom.
We had a good week. We had two adults visit on Wednesday PM and enjoyed having them back out for the SS hour as well.
It was a good evangelism week as well. I did leafletts in our village on Monday. Tuesday was street preaching. Wednesday was with Don Dillman in Livingston. The Lord gave an unusual opportunity to lead a man to Christ. Don has his contact details. On Saturday we put out Christmas Carol Sing flyers.
Thank you for praying for our church and family. It's been a tough week in some ways, but a great week as well.
