relations with somebody else have thawed again i am less irritated AND they actually ask me to pray for them declaring how Annointed my prayers have been (at least the last time i prayed..) now... how to win a girl round!!!...   so pray i do leaving them to soak...

...and then off i went to a show... now i don't really tell anyone where i am going....... i've been following a contributor that demonstrates craft amzingly well... certainly for what is this locality....  and it's been a really interesting journey allround... i'm kindov wondering why i'm there though... have i not really seen enuff.. i say that cos!!!  well...GOD propels me forward to the venue  show is already underway... atmosphere is great fully appreciative audience i make my way to the bar... i have never been here before and tbh can't imagine why not!... it's one of those bars that offers a variety of ales and its great i don't know any of them... but plum for one with an ecclesiastical ring.. well it is Sunday afterall.... then spot a dog with big brown eyes staring at me with a wag in its tail... i grin expecting the dog to have made connection it comes nervously towards me and then really does not want to be stroked... i am aware of the electricity in my fingers... cadge a stool sit move as folks vacate am joined by one person elderly so i insist on them taking the comfy seat ... its next to the dogcarer so i engage with them they leave... then some more folks.. everyone is very reticent and careful about my now occupied table... they sit down awkwardly i try to engage with them to make things more comfy to rearrange stuff for the older person of the group.. i get peered at suspiciously in the end i say to the one who seems most approachable and immediately able to engage with : 'hey i'm trying to be helpful here ..it's not going very well....' finally everyone is comfy more relaxed and i find myself being chatted with which is cool and fun!... the show goes on through interval and i am engrossed in chat ... go out for fag find myself more chat i really am finding myself chatting with everyone about anything... i even squeeze a prayer or two in... well at least one out loud that had Jesus Name onit... go to the loo find another contributor who i have had an interesting begining with they witnessed a very oops moment with another christian once and they keep popping up everywhere it's like GOD is somehow on their trail.. i know they are not one for religion or chats about Jesus... they complain of a headache.... late nights etc water i said... but as i return to myself am thinking prayer opportunity i offered it up to GOD... i return the people are wondering what has happened to me and then they get up to go one of them hangs back it's the one i have been chatting with... they say i am the nicest person they have met in a long while i say they have not met me on a grumbly day am really not very good with such accolades!... i get a huge hug as well as a warm hand extension from one of the others i feel very moved GOD BLESS! and some silent prayers is the only evangelism i do here... end of show anddd... i cannot seem to stop talking!... i complement to the contributor commenting that i didn't actually hear much as i have been chatting all evening... i ask the co-contributor abou their head... it's apparently gone forgotten they drank some water ... now at the time i remember thinking hey GOD and then the mention of remedy water had felt like kindov a rebuttal but it was only a lot later that i remembered how quick the word 'water' had come out in the initial conversation....  warmest of au revoirs all round..

i get offered a lift home by one of the supporting contributors... i know they would be going well out of theri way and find them somehow exceedingly generous which is very humbling .. they have been consistently friendly towards me during this journey... which kindof feels ... well as i explained on an earlier occasion i just want to sit at the back somewhere and listen... meanwhile GOD abviously has completely different ideas it seems...

i do want to walk though and no sooner have i got halfway down the street and i am greeted by three gay guys... we have a brief chat!... one of them does look familiar and i can't quite yet place them ... GOD BLESS! we exchange! church? or somewhere we've both been?... i am completely grinning .. as i can see the car drive along that just... this is why i wanted to walk.... i carry on feeling much loved and very mellow and kindov how GOD is GOD!?

i bump into someone... i have not met them for a while ... and they are alone and looking miserable... GOD makes sure that my just say hi and carry on turns into a lengthy chat... and praying...  they feel a lot better they have not had such a bad day afterall (before i came along) AND i get invited to their church they want me to come... i have a heard about it i ghave met folks who go there have gone there but never been but i am given a time slot that could be poss...

this is a person who has been street homeless for a very long time...  and GOD made sure that i met them a while ago now... they were a believer catholic background with very quirky views and i talked about miracles and that was too much for them a friendly relaxed chat turned into me being shouted at with people staring... i felt a little bemused for i had felt this was a GOD Appointment so i went around the corner and prayed about it ... it was a long time(monthsyr?) later before GOD propelled me into a new chat with them during this last year... ok how does GOD do this? ... well then it was... like this: me am leaving prayer meeting and am shouted at as i go past two homeless people i get asked where i have been.. i tell them they say please pray for '%%' i enquire the nature... stay and pray %% is in hospital seriously ill... we pray there openly me and the one who shouted out... and while i am hanging out with them something 'someone' says suddenly dawns on me ... hang on ... i look at them it's only then that my eyes are opened it's 'someone' who i last time met... was being shouted down the street  i remind them and we laugh and have made friends GOD makes sure we make even Spiritual friends and something they say sparks something for me .... they ask me where church is... ... here? ... no they get very serious with me ... for them it's the nearest waterway and they go out and stare out to the waterway... it makes me think of the Holy Spirit Hovering over the water... and i speak this out loud... and whoosh the Holy Spirit falls bolting me ... causing me to  'whoo' in whoosh! sort of way... and they whoo! with me .. wow GOD is GOOD and they humble me for thanking me for the time i have spent praying and talking with them... 

there's another phase of this i want to reserve for another time i feel...


anyhow last night i continued eventually passing a whole pile of people 3 in fact and i prayed for LOVE for three homeless folk... actually i was stopped by their dog... who ventured out to greet me...  who i have met before! a well loved pooch someone stuck some place solid is the word that comes to mind alcoholism and many many shocjking and real sadnesses trapped in the catch 22 of what there is on offer requires boxes that cannot be ticked or environrments that cannot be lived in...  i prayed for LOVE it's the Word that tripped off my tongue... and touched one of them in particular they wanted to touch me exchange hand somethings.. and i was too far away to reach literally and well... it made me think how easy this journey is how much we fear the Loveliness of the Lord in our hands... and it made me feel sad in that moment how distant i felt.. still it was late? not too late? too much for one day?  the show ended before 10.30ish? i got home at 1amish i hadn't had a cooked meal for 3 days now... so i did and then surprise surprise there i was falling asleep with the lights on and ... well... feeling somehow gloriously and gorgeously fed and sated and room for much more!

here we are right now reflecting GOD's LOVE AND GOD's MYSTERY trying to get through this... a person came and sat next to me... someone i see a lot of.... the story goes they had a bad drugs happening a very long time ago and they seem to be stuck in that star war someplace... ever since... happily so?  or desolately so.... the fact i see a lot of them means GOD wants more the fact they make an appointment to sit here means i got something to do... today they smell strong and i have coughing fit need to sort that out somehow someplace GOD is on your case too

GOD BLESS!

Peace and Love,
