Lancaster Baptist Church

Yesterday, Dan and I went to Lancaster Baptist Church where I preached in supply for Zach Terry, a good friend of mine. The notable part of yesterday would not be my message but our travel to Lancaster. We left at 6:00 a.m. to travel what normally is around an hour and 45 minute drive. However, we encountered a wreck on I-64 which shut down eastbound traffic; therefore, we were forced to do a u-turn and travel down I-65. To make a long travel short, we got there in 2 hours and 45 minutes and walked in when the last song was being sung! I went to the bathroom, took the lapel mic, and went to preaching. It was quite the experience. The people were great, and we had a great time nonetheless. And the sunrise on the journey was a great consolation with my consternation with traffic. Oh, and here's an ethical question: Is it o.k. to speed if you are late because of cause beyond your control, and if you don't show up, then the church won't have a preacher? And follow up, is it ever o.k. to speed? What do you think?
