Recordings: Tomorrow’s sermon is about an end-times prophecy in Revelation 8:10-11, and its uncanny connections to the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. I look forward to preaching it to you tomorrow in person, but if you can’t be there, you can hear it on Soundcloud here or on Dropbox here. The sermon notes are here.
I should put a plug in for our local public libraries. I was pleased to find ample books available through them about Chernobyl. If you have a library card, you can order the particular books online and pick them up at the Bookmobile in Barss Corner or New Germany on Tuesdays when they’re ready (you get an email notice when they’re ready for pickup). The three books I read are here, here, and here.
And someone was telling me that she read an excellent book about learning to live lives of thankfulness toward God, called “10000 Gifts” by Ann Voskamp. I read it and benefitted from it very much. It is also available through the library here, either as a book to borrow and read or an audiobook to download.
And (though I definitely don’t recommend this, it’s just too surprising not to mention), if you want to book a guided tour of the Chernobyl disaster zone, you can book a very affordable one through Tripadvisor here.
