This and That – Good morning from London and the Hotel Travistock and 911!

| Posted on |

The sun’s come out on this Sabbath day. Sam went to services this morning at St. Paul’s Cathedral. I decided to attend church in another “cathedral.”

I’ve been sitting on a bench in the park across from our hotel. Watching the dappled sunlight drifting through the trees, I thought of God. Smiling at a laughing baby in a stroller, I thought of God. Observing people in the park, some with concerned faces, some with longing in their eyes, I thought of God. Thinking about 911 – lest we forget – and the horrific destruction and loss of precious souls, I thought of God. Strolling back into the lobby, I watched a bit of the national news coverage of the Queen’s passing and thought of God.

Dear friends, with all my heart, I believe there is a loving God and a Savior, Jesus Christ, who died in agony for our sins and those of the world. In a world gone mad, let us never forget they are sitting on the eternal throne of Heaven. And because they are, in the passing seconds allotted to us in the hourglass of time, all’s right with the world.

Until we meet again, all my love, Andy.

The view of the park across the street through the front entrance of the Tavistock Hotel, London. Sam and I really liked this little hotel. I hope I can visit it again someday.
