Contractor Follow-up Part 3

Yesterday my phone rang and it was a frantic call from the accounts payable people at the roofing company that lied to us. I was informed that the police had been by to question them on why they had not paid the church the money they owed us. She told me that it was not Christian for a church to get the police involved in this matter. Taken aback for a moment, I regrouped and reminded her that stealing was against the top 10 and if anyone was not acting in a Christian manner it was her company. I asked her if the church should allow people to take advantage of them or should we be the ones that point out one someone goes astray and try to bring them back. In the end she told me, for the third time if your keeping count, that a check would be cut and sent to us. I told her whatever and that it was a police matter now and that I was going to have nothing more to do with it. Stay tuned for more…

So yesterday passed and no check from the roof guy. I guess he is lucky that the police office handling things was off duty yesterday and he gets another day to send in the money. We shall see. The mail is sorted by 10am so if nothing appears in our PO box I guess we go to court. How sad this situation is.

Tornado

Never having lived through one I cannot imagine what it is like to go through a Tornado. I am sure we have all seen the movie Twister and other movies that depict the destruction of a tornado. Well the other day an entire town in Kansas was wiped of the face of the earth in a devastating tornado. One of the casualties was St. Joseph Catholic Church. I understand on of the only things that survived was a statue of St. Joseph. You can read more about the priest and how he is trying to care for his community here.

Let us remember all the residents of Greensburg, Kansas in our prayers.

Sunday of the Samaritan Woman

Acts 11:19-30
John 4:5-42

Today we look at the woman at the well. She is a Samaritan and therefor not one that should be hanging around with Jews. She also has a past, let’s just say she is not the type of woman that you want your son to bring home. Anyway, Jesus stops to get a drink and the woman is there. They have a conversation and you know the rest of the story.
But, that is not the end of the story for the woman. Tradition holds that she is St. Photini and her feast day is celebrated on February 26. Amazing woman who leads man to Christ and is eventually put to death because of her faith.
