Travelling to Cape Town

The road between us and our destination this afternoon is fraught with dangers - it's been nicknamed the Hell Run. There are stonings, and hijackings, and speeding reckless drivers.

So to find this on Our Daily Blog this morning was not the best thing... :)

VERY soon your life here will end; consider, then, what may be in store for you elsewhere. Today we live; tomorrow we die and are quickly forgotten. Oh, the dullness and hardness of a heart which looks only to the present instead of preparing for that which is to come!

Therefore, in every deed and every thought, act as though you were to die this very day. If you had a good conscience you would not fear death very much. It is better to avoid sin than to fear death. If you are not prepared today, how will you be prepared tomorrow? Tomorrow is an uncertain day; how do you know you will have a tomorrow?

Lord, you're gonna have to surround us with angels as we travel... Please?

(We're driving through to see the new little Bainbridge, then will have to fight our way back through the late-afternoon rush hour traffic. Not my favourite time of day or place to be!)
