a day start:...  an attempt to get what turns out to be a churchgoer to park more tidily.....  the distant strains of singing and a glimpse of..  if churchgoer does not come to church then church goes to the churchgoer ... the whole church everyone in fact the whole congregation like one giant woodlouse moves in synchrony it is quite a sight! but they don't actually stop and talk,,, they just well waft past... self conscious meddley.........  then it's my turn going to church that is i feel oddly early... and start off with giving GOD the choice actually seems i am going the right way then... a choice of busstops... ok go this one this way... and there sitting on a wall i find a 'young man' in a suit just sitting there in the beautiful sun looking uncomfortable... he is staring into space ... i ask him if he is ok ... actually he looks a bit forelorn like he is waiting for somebody who perhpas they are not coming like he has just had a row and is sitting outside looking shame faced and hurting.... he says he is not ok so i join him on the wall of apparent sighs saying i am a christian.... so is he ... he is on his way to palm sunday church and can't quite make it he lists a number of serious ailments... i offer to pray ... i: Hosanna Blessed is He Who Walks in the Lord... says i ;Hosanna in Excelsis says he...   i pray conscious i have neither asked him his name or offered mine nor asked if i can put my hand on him so i just pray out loud...   and after a bit he suddenly rises up tall and i offer to walk with him to his church but he wants to return home and commune with his medical facilities... we part GOD BLESS! and i feel a little moved it has to be said... at the bus stop i see someone from my church setting forth and walk with them!...

at church i am asked ... where are the: ......''s   last week they were late,,, i had given them to mog.... turns out that mog had delivered them late not cos he was late but cos he forgot them and dilligently went home to fetch them arriving them there.. late..... this time having rerun last weeks events with him ... i decide to give them to him again .. saves a late night walk to somebody else's ..... i feel fully confident that this is the right thing to do... and what happens this morning ? no ''s and no mog! i am there being quizzed with alacrity i am embarrassed cos well it should be my responsibility!we phone him... no reply! i wander outside and ... he is just arriving talking to another late-comer... is that the time?... ermmm i had felt GOD wanted to take that burden off and then...

 church was lovely the rearranged layout seems to be a regular feature again and the little me sized space remains a me sized space that i can stretch out in... Ministry was good... i got prayed for and had some Clarity from GOD... gave out some WORDS... and ambled into town towards the railway station


i am about to escape to my first excursion out of town to a far away church this year... and themes have been resounding an anthem of sorts... one of the many speakers that are visiting from near and far churches everywhere ....   last time i heard them there was a weird thing with a blackbird song ....    and recently this Glory board has come up again! it's like GOD illuminates the song beyond the sound of birdsong... like that worship thing that glorious freedom to sing your heart out!  ... now last year i did not quite.. well GOD Gave me a WORD it was one of those exciting ones that the church cannot own for itself and wrap you up in knowjhow knots but while some of the talk i loved!!! some of it left me running for the hills... you know...: that man made fibre mixing it with wools that sort of thing... but the tremendous volley of blackbird song all wrapped up in the 'angelic' glow of the Holy Spirit amplifying and trumpeting in amazing declaration of LOVE for ALL HUMANKIND that i remember and it has appeared once again just as we were wondering if we were going out to do street stuff... something that the culture this speaker is bathed in comes from ... as soon as i heard that it was a sign... especially as the where of that hearing was not a place that that was heard!... so i'm feeling pretty excited now just writing about it...

but i must add a small incident of note earlier today... it has NEVER happened to me before... i go through the fire escape for a fag as usual (though we didn't always use the/that door in days gone by) and as i come back to go in... the door is shut .. and there is nobody about... in fact there is absolutely nobody anywhere in sight... i try to manually catch the door to pull it open .. zilch! i end up doing a bit of clambering a stairwell //// doors all locked there is a court yard with some doors none of which are open.... in the end i discover a sign stating fire exit and am thankfully able to exit ... shutting the door behind me....  thnakfully i have keys on me ... but for some moments it is possible that i may be stranded there perhaps till tomorrow with some fags and a bible ! keeping various bird life preoccupied.... i have been preaching the Gospel to rather a lot of animals of late! including a fox who seemingly came back stood still seemingly wanting more! it's very touchjoing

I love Jesus and Jesus LOVES YOU!!! more anon!

GOD BLESS!

PEACE AND LOVE,
