A question for Pentecost … What does it require for people of every language and culture to hear the Good News of God’s love in Christ?
Meanwhile, the sun shines again. Maybe spring is always like this, and I hadn’t noticed before – but I think not. Much as I enjoy walking across fields that aren’t muddy, the land really needs some rain.
Things are getting better, but it’s not over – and there’s a lot more tears to be shed. A couple of worrying things for me and one good one… Worrying that the government will lose credibility and people will no longer bother too much about not spreading the virus. The government, in their system of priorities may not be bothered about this, but I am. The other worry is that if infections start to pick up again, it may be several weeks before you and I notice enough to be bothered. The headline figure of deaths lags infections by a few weeks. One encouraging thing, and that is to do with sewage. A close examination of our towns’ and cities’ waste may reveal virus hotspots at an early stage, early enough to do something about it.
Life is precious. Life is precious, and don’t forget it.
