As I write this, it is Thursday afternoon and I have been sitting guard over The Lord's Rain since about 8am. There was a breakin overnight: someone managed to smash through the security glass panel in our front door (the kind with wire mesh embedded), open the door and get in. They were going after our large-screen TV, which we use to "pipe" the Carrall Street Church services from upstairs, so that people with disabilities can take part.
They even brought a golf club cart to carry it.
Anyway, they didn't get it. They got the TV off the wall and onto the floor, but took off -- probably because they heard the sirens. The police arrived even before our friend Ian got here: he lives nearby and was called when the intrusion alarm went off.
Police say they got excellent-quality prints, so they may well catch these people. And now, I'm waiting for the glass-repair people to show up.
So ... my prayer request to you: forgiveness for the people who did this and a revelation of God to bring them to repentance. Also, that the repairs won't be too costly and that we'll get the TV re-installed quickly so it can continue to serve our people. (The TV is intact, except for the input connectors, which were broken off inside the jacks.)
