"Safe" in Johannesburg (Jozi)

Any ideas on how to move a one+ ton safe? Well, the three heftiest chaps in the office took it on as a challenge. That was a laugh for sure. We couldn't budge the thing.

The safe sits in a closet under the stairwell -- what we figured to be the safest place for a safe, not than any thief is going to come in and take it out on his back! Following the burglary of computers, we thought this might also be the saftest place for the network server. Although there is plenty of room in the closet, the safe needed to be pushed back to the back wall. The "man gene" in us led us to believe "this would be a breeze." All we did was lay cozily in the closet on our backs and grunt and groan. So l to r in the picture you've got Tim K, Russell Pratt and Tim Barrow. All with shattered pride!

So we decided to call in the "professionals". Now that was indeed a smart move because they took care of it in about 30 minutes. They had the right equipment, expertise and time! That was their job! Not ours. So now the safe sits in the back corner of the "safe" room. If ever we want to remove it, our first advice would be to "leave it to the professionals!"

Well -- all in a days work! The outstanding repairs and beefing up of security systems are all things we're waiting on others to do. We don't have the know-how even we did have the "genetic inclination!"

Speaking of safes -- safety is something we are daily cast upon the Lord for here in "Jozi". Crime in this city is high, in fact renown. We rest in the fact that God is here too and nothing takes him by surprise. Pray for us in this regard -- for safety, peaceful hearts that are at rest in Him.

Safely in Jesus!
