In May of 2015 the signboard said:<\/p>\n

GOOD THING GOD DOESN’T<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

TAKE VACATIONS!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Signboard<\/a>We’re at the time of the season when school is about to close, the weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer… and people are thinking about getting away.\u00a0 When you’re on vacation, you’re away from the normal routine.\u00a0 You can put some distance between yourself and the concerns of life.\u00a0 You can even put some space between yourself and those who love and depend on you.\u00a0 When you’re on vacation, there are just some things that will have to be put on hold until you get back.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

But what about God?\u00a0 What if you hit a rough spot, prayed fervently, but then got the cold feeling that heaven was closed.\u00a0 That God wasn’t listening.\u00a0 Wait until next week.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

But God is ALWAYS just a prayer away.\u00a0 Actually He’s even closer than that!\u00a0 And, truth be told, Jesus is already praying for us (through the Holy Spirit) even when we don’t know it.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Customer Service?
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"PayPhone-Flowers-Jakes_5-24-14_500\"<\/a>Have you ever tried to get help by calling “Customer Service?”\u00a0 Even though “your call is very important to them…” you wait on hold forever, listening to elevator music, until the connection dies and you get hung up on.<\/p>\n

Wouldn’t it be great if someone were always on the other end of the line?<\/p>\n
