i'm having a terrible time trying to get in... have some catchups to bring in but not now...

yesterday ... got on the bus was not sure where i was going well i thought i did has to be said it was an effort to get out of the house... it was pretty late would have missed church probs you can see i am pretty keen... 'I will show you where to get off'... oh! and so i got off what was the plan... well it was to approach the door of the church offices to read the word 'you' on a nearby flyer then to get on another bus i got off again as bidden it was not the church i thought i was going to .. i was sure i was meeting up with a friend who i hoped to meet... i go into the church ... i'm not the biggest fan of the church for what i perceive as it's culture terribly trendy... something about the lighting made me think ooh i am in the red light district of heaven? i so wanted to share that .. my friend was nowhere to be seen .. i say that but i did see someone who looked like them walking arms around a woman .. maybe it was them or at least an appointment to pray... i felt bewildered church had finished everyone was chatting i could tell it was a good night i could feel the Holy Spirit... i found a mutual friend and asked if frined was there .. they had not seen them i was reintroduced to a relative of theirs who i had had a conversation with ages ago... they were staring at me and did not want to talk.... now what ? saw someone they wanted to go out for a fag so i went out with them after a pause there was a sudden enquiry about what had been going on with gay marriage... i explained about the free vote in parliament ... they were delighted they are not gay but they believe there should not be in a problem they were about to leave when i talked about Steve Chalke's apparent  epiphany they were thrilled and amazed .. maybe all the evangelicals i thought probs not without some kicking and screaming remembering the recent mutterings i certainly know some folks who are pretty active opponents... i shared that i felt that Chalke had found a peace comparing the different times i had heard him speak on the matter they were thrilled... and me well GOD BLESS! i shouted as they left... two more people had come out to smoke... one commented on that i had said GOD BLESS! approvingly so i fell into conversation with them... someone having a lot of stuff they were uncomfortable with ... they had found themselves told off for trying to dance oh LORD! they had with them a portable instrument they had brought to play in the middle of the service... though not invited to do so.... i explained that e very church has house rules of some sort... at the same time thinking it didn't seem right or fair surely if someone has the Holy Spirit on them they can do what they liked? to me it did seem harsh.... all this stage managing only some folks got prayed for to be creative everyone else was what prayed for to attend? the person i was speaking to had felt they were supposed to be prayed for but felt that no-one really wanted to pray for them and when they had been prayed for it was brief pretty hands off go away and don't come back stuff! i offered to pray just standing besides them and it was a long session with many challenges and many stories... i felt really priveleged! and glad i felt really GOD appointed ... went to look for friend in pub there was hardly anyone there ... must have been a good evening then?... what had been the topic? something about fully surrendering to Jesus  Praise the Lord!

GOD BLESS!

Peace and Love,
