Melbourne Cup, the race that stops a Nation.
Today at the Corps it was just a normal day. Commencing first with a visit to the Automotive Mechanic to have the car serviced. No mail delivery, as the Australia Post workers were not working. Some phone calls, then into ‘mainly music’ with the toddlers. Then back to pick up the car. The school opposite the Corps was silent, without students and staff. The phone was silent with no calls, even the Emergency Relief line.
It would seem that the Melbourne Cup, really is the race that stops a Nation. Phone calls stopped, emergencies stopped, demands stopped, school work stopped, work stopped, and I wonder what else stopped?
Will the emergencies increase tomorrow, as the empty-pocketed punters decide that the actually need to pay their bills and also eat?
Exodus 14:23 (Message)
The Egyptians came after them in full pursuit, every horse and chariot and driver of Pharaoh racing into the middle of the sea.
