Why We Need Vacations
I had two “bombs” dropped on me this week. Our church’s Administrative Assistant, Marla, announced she was moving back to London because of her husbands job (she was also our pianist for Saturday Night Life). And our worship leader for the aforementioned service informed me that he has bought a house in Barrie, so will likely withdraw from the team at the end of summer. During my tenure in NJ, I would often visit New York City. In front of the RCA building there is a statue of Atlas holding the world on his shoulders. His muscles seem to ripple under the strain. Across Fifth Avenue, at St.Peters Cathedral there is a small statue of the boy Jesus, eight or nine years old, holding the world in the palm of his small hand. No stress. No problemo. Two ways of looking at life. I choose to let Jesus carry me and my world. He is more than capable. Rest Easy, Darryl. Brian
