An Unusual Sight

The majority of the Cathedral has been without a roof for some time now.  We are patiently waiting for the arrival of our lumber from Texas.  Why Texas?  Because they were the only saw mill that could provide us with the size of beams that we require.  And while our Heavenly Father has spared us from nature's wrath, Irene was a weak tropical storm when it reached us, our shipping schedules have been severly affected.  The latest news is that after dodging the rough seas caused by the passage of these tropical distrubances, the ship ran aground in Tortola, creating yet another delay of three or four days.  But we would rather the lumber be late than at the bottom of the sea. 

In the meantime I have had to be patient with congregation members who are disturbed by the daily sight of their roofless Cathedral.  To the untrained eye all might appear to be well but a quick glance throught the windows shows what is not there.
