 Acts 20:17-38

I comment in the link below on verse 35: …by working hard…we must help the weak… Carol pointed out to me that the pandemic has done for lower income workers what legislation has never done – to raise their wages. Jessamine County is looking for bus drivers – $16.64 per hour, four hours a day guaranteed, paid holidays, health insurance, and other benefits. Not bad! A strange outcome…! In my mind, raising these low wages is one of the many “blessings” from this pandemic.

I know that after my departure … from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. (vv. 29-30) Too true! Maybe not in our own St. Andrew’s congregation or in ADOTS or ACNA, but certainly in the denomination we left behind. “…twisted things…” Sad.
