Wednesday June 27th
Our flight yesterday from Chicago to London was overnight. We went on the underground (subway) into London. What changes and generations of people have swept over this area. We walked around St. Paul’s. The cross raised there @ 1100. We walked across the Thames and down around West Minister. With delays on the underground and a strict adherence which would not let us enter through security even though it was 35 minutes til departure, we were denied our flight.
Time is so fickle. In the dark hours of a sleepless night, pressed in by bodies on every side, sore but unable to move or sleep, time drags. But prayers and psalms ascend to Him who dwells in eternity. In a frantic run for the scheduled departure gate, seconds speed too fast. But prayers ascend to Him who dwells in eternity. We wait in line fretting for an hour for nothing. We wait fretting for two hours for Matt to ferret out a place to stay. Back to the underground for an hour and half to get there. The sleep, the departure, the time are all missed. And what a mess can be made with all the connecting ramifications when we miss a few seconds in time. Praise the LORD He did not miss the day of His coming to save us nor will He ever.
We ended up at a hostel at Olympic Park. What looks lie Roman ruins are just out the window. Thank God our troubles are not stoning, shipwreck and prison. Praise the Lord who uses clay pots to glorify His salvation, enable us O Lord.
