a bit of soulful luxury to cheer me up on this venture....


yesterday continuing ... the evening i did the poor thing... stayed at home ... actually i was wanting to go to a prayer meeting.... but that would have meant a bus ticket unless i set out on a 2anda half hour walk... somehow my ponderings stalled me in the street should i would i.... it is ironic somehow... there is a new craze amongst the housed but begging community of our locality it is to approach folks in the street and ask for money to buy a ticket to get home... there is at least one person who never has enough... it seems to me to be a scam cos i have been asked by the same person several times but even after any sensible bus jpournejys could no longer be made and not a train either.... beyond irritating it is a good point to pray on.. the gospel is beyond the nonsense of our opinions and the gospel provides good things and good resources all good things a new future a new venture.. i like that in the gospel accounts the goodnews is set out even before Jesus arrives it's there for all to see make straight the paths of the Lord... turn to GOD the Kingdom of GOD is nigh the Kingdom of GOD will give you all the help you need...

over the weekend i met someone it was a GOD appointment alright GOD had named a location i had gone to expecting to meet someone i knew only to find i had missed them completely but there at the bar sat someone who turned and engaged me in conversation they thought they had met me i wasn't so sure but as the conversation unravelled i suggested a church they said they had gone to that chruch once some time ago... they said it hadn't helped... they said they had been saved by... they pointed to what they were drinking a nonalcoholic drink .... they had given up drink following that ... i said: you think that GOD had nothing to do with that? sounds like GOD had everything to do with that Praise the Lord... end of conversation but only cos person had mentioned a mental illness and i was feeling... well  i was feeling a bit vulnerable prayers for the person indeed!

so GOD will and does want to and to do help! even in mysterious ways!

so not going to prayer meeting hey i said i could walk... but chose not to it was too difficult peh peh... do nothing... well not quite there was a footie game on that i would normally have watched in the pub.. so yesterday i was gonna do that stay at home and just listen on the radio.... at home i did stuff like cook like shower... all this costs fuel.. and i wondered about the traditions of wood fuel how were folks managing where previously in time this was a relative abundance not being able to cook some places meant not eating like where the food you have like rice has to be processed... i also remembered stuff like the metred shower like only doing a short shower for fear of being deluged under cold water.....
