I travelled down to Pains Hill, Surrey on Sunday. I was in two minds about whether to go via the M25 or central London. It was the fact the car was facing down when I came out of the house that decided me. Andrew Saywell was preaching for me here in Childs Hill.
I was due to preach in Pains Hill Chapel morning and evening. Sadly, in the morning seven miles out I hit a traffic jam, following a crash and ended up getting to the chapel at some crazy hour. Thankfully my old college friend Jonathan had a sermon in his bag and so I only preached in the evening. I went to Genesis 49:10 and got on okay but I was so sorry not to have been able to preach in the morning to the small congregation. Had a good time with Jonathan and his wife, for whom life is not so straightforward at present.
Apart from completely missing a train once when in college once I have never been so late that I couldn't preach before. Strange day then but we remember that all things are under God's Providence.
