The sand sculptor has returned to Ixtapa and struck again this morning. He made his fleeting marks on the beach last year and here are his offerings today ...
The English congregation here holds its midweek meeting Friday at 6:30 pm which put us back on a bus for Zihuatanejo. They put on a lively, good quality meeting here which deserves the applause everyone gives after the concluding prayer.
The above photo shows Carol outside the Kingdom Hall. The entrance is on the building's right side.
During the Service Meeting part entitled "Be More Than A Silent Partner" my friend Jorge commented that he recently worked in the service with a brother from Montreal who asked him what made him personally choose to become a Witness. He said he had never been asked that question before and was glad for the opportunity to talk about it. He also said he thought it was a good subject to discuss when working with someone in the ministry. He plans to do this himself. It was good of him to make that comment. In fact I do love listening to "turning point" stories.
The photo below shows the expressway we must cross to get to the hall:
There are a total of six lanes. The bus takes the service road on the far left and both lanes there have crossings painted with yellow stripes where vehicles stop for pedestrians. Next, stone steps provide helpful access to the expressway level. It is the same on the far right. The thoughtful accommodations for pedestrians are touchingly kind. As for crossing the expressway itself, this is governed by the general principle known in French as, "Sauve qui peut!" Fortunately visibility is good here and gaps in traffic are not infrequent but as the scripture says, "Do not loiter at your business." The good part is that going home we don't have to cross the road.
Quote of the day:
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
