Knockin' on Heaven's door

Two young guys were walking around Highland Parish last weekend, going door to door.  The fact that you make a public display of your commitment to your faith by going on a pilgrimage to a strange land is a good thing. And you are always so well turned out in your smart black suits and shiny shoes. 

But this is Scotland.  It is summer.  This means that it's going to be a whole lot wetter than the average winter. Whoever thought up your dress code needs to include a smart raincoat to keep the worst of the weather off.  Even an umbrella would be a start. 

Regardless of our denomination, we can only spread God's word if we look after the body.  Getting damp (or even sunburned*) just makes you miserable, so look after the body and you will find it easier to speak your message.  We are all vehicles capable of carrying God's message, but if your vehicle gets waterlogged, it stops working.


*well it might happen...
