I have guilt. I have power but my neighbors do not. That’s
the way it is in Rahway right now. Some have had power restored, but someone a
block away does not. It’s very depressing to look outside my windows at night
and see the dark windows in the houses behind mine. We have been offering limited help
to our neighbors. But, there isn't much we can do right now but wait.
We had a worship service on Sunday. No power in the church
yet, but the English service and the Spanish service gathered at noon, the warmest
part of the day, to praise God for saving our church and ourselves. We prayed
for everyone suffering right now, and we prayed that things would get back to
normal. To create as much normal as possible, we had chicken cacciatore, red
beans and rice, prepared by our friends from Cuba. It was awesome. Hopefully
the church and the people around it will get their power back up soon.
Today we are slowly getting back to normal. Both of my sons
have gone back to work. Betsy is waiting to hear from her school, as of today
they still don’t have power. Charlotte will go back to school on Wednesday. I’m
working on getting a tarp to cover the flat roof at the church. The best way to
protect it is a 100 foot tarp, which is proving difficult to find. I’m working
with a roofer on this problem.
Pray for us and all of the victims of Super Storm Sandy! And
thank you for the prayers you have already sent up to heaven.
God bless you,
Pastor Bill
