NO SCHOOL TODAY
By John Kerr

            There have been many school delays and closures due to weather recently.  My mind went back to days of yore when Nankin Elementary had a snow day.  I loved it.  We had to walk down our farm driveway to the township road and the up the hill to the paved state highway.  It was a grueling trek.  I don’t know how they did it, but I drove out there a while back and somehow they shortened it.  It really isn’t that far.

            We only had one car and dad drove it to work every other week when it was his week to drive.  Even when the car was home I’m not sure the thought ever crossed anyone’s mind that mom would drive us to wait on the bus.  We were at the state highway waiting for the bus one wintry day when a car pulled up and a nice lady rolled her window down (that’s how we did it in those days).  She wanted to know what we were doing.  When we said we were waiting for the school bus, she told us to go back to the house because there was no school.  It was closed.
 
            Miraculously my fatigue was cured and the walk back home was wonderful!  I had plenty of energy to play in the snow all day.  Mom wondered what we were doing and about the time we finished our explanation the bus pulled up and stopped for us to get on.  Mom waved Mr. Jenkins on because we didn’t have time to get back up there.  I must admit that was one time I didn’t mind being lied to.

            My mind then drifted from days of yore to the Scriptures.  Believing a lie can be a very dangerous thing.  It can have eternal consequences.  Galatians 1:6I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!

Come as you are and grow with us!
