First the shockingly bad news – This extended lock down has turned into something of a lock out. Churches, Long Term Care facilities and even many homes are locked out of their normal activities all over the world. But the Good news is more shocking than the bad! Jesus specializes in showing up even when we lock the doors!

Jesus is Right on Time – Video
Oh I hate to wait but the numbers here aren’t looking great for things to open up safely to the Nursing Homes any time soon. Please remember to pray for the residents who have now been well cared for but very lonely after 3 1/2 months of isolation. This week’s Hymn session Included His Eye is On the Sparrow (One of my favorites). Little talk with Jesus and When the Roll is called up Yonder. God bless everyone.
Trust and Obey
If this week has seemed to be out of the pages of some apocalyptic novel then you are not alone. The Psalmist David when he was surrounded by dangers that made him feel as if the mountains were about to be thrown down into the sea he said;
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 ESV
The hymns for this week include; Trust and Obey; Great is Thy Faithfulness and Rock of Ages. These classic hymns are for everybody, but since my principle ministry has been to those shut away behind the walls of a long term care facilities ; why not share these with someone now separated by the ongoing pandemic? God is a help in trouble and we are definitely knee deep in them this week. God bless and have a wonderful week everybody!
