A trucker's strike started a panic today. We had to postpone promoting our Vacation Bible school for a few hours today because everyone panicked at the rumor of a gas shortage and gas stations quickly sold out all they had. One of our workers had to wait a few hours to get gas and never did show up for visitation today. Tina dropped me off at a government housing project in a poor area of our town so I could visit and found an open gas station. She waited 30 min. to top off our tank and was able to join me in time to help us visit a lot of kids. Leann helped also by passing out flyers and posting signs around the neighborhood.
We are not sure if there will be gas tomorrow. Hopefully we will have enough to visit, shop for VBS supplies, go on the church picnic, drop the twins off at a sleep-over at a friends house, go get the puppet stage, etc, and all those many small things that become important when you can't do them. We had a good day of visitation anyway. Maybe more will come if they can't leave town for the beach!
