The shop was closed when I went this morning. I think I’ll try again later, maybe when it starts raining.
It’s ascension day, and mountains in the cloud are mysterious places. Also they are often wet, and dangerous, and confusing, and a bit downheartening, until the cloud moves away – and that can be amazing. As anyone who has driven over the Pennines will know, cloud and fog are the same thing, really – it’s all about location.
Also, Jesus is around, for you and for me.
It has started raining now, but too soon to try Tesco again.
Living God,
as we walk on through the cloud,
the fog of uncertainty,
we reach out in the gloom
for the hand of Christ.
Guide us, we pray;
guide this world,
show us, through the mist of confusion,
and the smokescreens of deceit,
where justice lies,
and how to make people matter
more than money.
