Interruptions

When you preach a sermon on the holiness of interruptions, you apparently spend all week being interrupted.

Some interruptions are "normal," i.e. people needing visits or assistance with fuel, shelter or something along those lines.

Some interruptions are not normal, such as the elder woman and younger woman who came in asking for help in securing a sponsor for the younger woman so that she could remain in this country longer than her 2-month visa allows.

Younger Woman is from South Africa.  Father deserted the mother during pregnancy.  Mother eventually abandoned YW on Grandmother's doorstep.  Grandmother died.  YW came to U.S. to live with her aunt, and was given a 2-month visa.

This job is never normal.
