I am wondering if the cold will continue tomorrow and on into the evening. You see, tomorrow evening I have class with my students at the Villa Alegre (Happy Town) Church. The problem is, there is no front door on the church. For that matter, there are no windows either. And when it is cold the students suffer. It's hard to think, read and study the Bible and take a test when your fingers are cold, your feet are cold, your ears are cold and, well, I suspect you get the point. And yet my students will be expected to do just that tomorrow evening. It will be the last session of this class on the General Epistles and, yes, a final test is called for. The learning process can be impertinent.
It amazes me that most of the students come under such conditions. They know it will be cold. They know that they will sit in the cold, feel the wind blowing through the church, yet they come. Their desire for learning the Word is amazing. And yet I know that they also are longing for the day when their church will have the luxury of a door and windows to help keep the cold out. As the teacher, I'll appreciate it too. Wouldn't you?
The night these pictures were taken was a worm evening and not the recent cold. Notice the empty window frames in the wall of the church.
