Tomorrow Night – Closing Program!

The other night I was driving down from Jesús María after our Bible study.  It was dark, and as I wound down the road I noticed that a van was following behind me.

The strange things was that the van’s headlights were going off, then on.  Off, then on.  What was the driver trying to tell me?

I looked around – yes, my lights were on.  No, there were no doors open.  Blink, blink – on and off went the van’s lights.

There was a slow car in front of me.  Could it be that the van was trying to signal him?  Maybe they had been travelling together, and the van was trying to tell the car driver that he was no longer driving directly behind him.

But the van made no move to pass, and the car just kept going.

On went the van’s headlights behind me.  Off.  On.  Off.  On.

Finally I realized what was going on.

Whether by mistake or on purpose, the van’s headlights had been hooked up to the brakes.

That’s right, every time the van braked, the headlights went on.  When he eased off the brakes, they went off.  What kind of a message is that?!

The things you see!

Tomorrow evening we’re holding our regular closing of classes program at the community centre.  We’ve done a lot of different things in past years, but this event is going to be a big one.  There will be awards and gifts, students showing what they’ve learned, special music, an art show, wheelchair presentations, and even a special speaker.  The speaker, pastor Antonio Muñoz, will be presenting the Gospel to many people who probably have never heard it.

Please do pray for our closing program tomorrow evening – pray that our message will be clear!  No mixed signals – no headlights off in the dark – a clear presentation of God’s love and truth.

I’ll let you know how it goes!
