Superheroes!

 

Here is Captain Moth-Butterfly with his Medal - he was among the 28 members of SUSSAR who were presented with their Queen's Jubilee medal, by Chief Constable Jo Shiner and Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne, for completing more than five years of voluntary service to the team.

It is good to know that they are appreciated. They work hard, and can be called out on search and rescues at all hours. He was out on one last night in fact, which ended well, in that the Misper (missing person to us laypeople) was found safe and well. And Captain M-B spent the weekend at an intensive First Aid class to keep himself up to date.

While he was on his weekend course, I was at the Zoom field service on Saturday, and at the Zoom Convention on Sunday. It was very very hot, very close, with no sea breeze to speak of. Rain is apparently on the way, with thunderstorms and flooding in parts of the country, but not here, yet.

It is overcast this morning though, so who knows. The workmen, for whom the scaffolding is in place did not turn up yesterday as they were scheduled. And, as yet, there is no sign of them today, but we live in hope.

We, the congregation, all Zoomed off to the Sunday morning of the PURSUE PEACE Convention on Sunday - you will find it on JW.org. The Symposium How They Sowed and Reaped Peace is very powerful. We looked at and analysed the efforts that people like Joseph and his brothers and Paul and Barnabas made to keep and to restore peace.

There is so much valuable advice, straight from the Inspired Scriptures, in that Symposium alone that I wish everyone in the world would devote an hour or so to watching and thinking about it.

As I am finishing this blog - at 8:20 a.m. I note that it has started raining - a gentle steady rain so far! Good news - but I expect it will delay the already delayed scaffolding-users.
