Brethren, it's been a long time since I posted last and much has been happening. Back in late 2018, I took a position as a Transit Operator with the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority. A goal I had been seeking for well over 30 years now, and that God has blessed me with. However, my current work schedule has me working Sunday Mornings and yes, away from fellowship at my home church (we are open). I was able to resume Sunday worship over the Summer because I was working the extra board and most of the Senior drivers, the ones with weekends off, take their vacations at that time. But now, being back on a run myself, I cannot attend services. That being said, there are flocks who do offer Saturday services, but because I would need to be available for Sundays as well, I cannot participate in leading worship as I do at my home church.
That being said, I miss the fellowship, the worship, and the church itself. I know that God's presence isn't contingent on a building or people, but I miss them dearly, especially my pastor, who's been a tremendous blessing to me and my family, and who, as he's said; " puts the Gospel on display".
Now, I do have the options of either going back to working late runs, that would free my Sunday mornings, but the tradeoff is I don't get back until very late and screws with me healthwise. Or, wait it out until I build enough seniority to e able to pick runs with Sundays off (which I would prefer). That wait might not be much longer, God Willing.
