the day!!!

begins with waking up with good time to get to church then being waylaid... by a conversation that goes like this: church leader keeps in contact (+ point) with person no longer in that church ... has conversation with that person.... 'are you in church?' answer 'no'; 'why not?' 'cos the people in church are so miserable even though they should be full of Joy cos of the holy Spirit'(+1000 points for insight and honesty); church leader visibly shocked at this(-1 million points for well everything!) church leader's wife pipes up 'oh yes.... people are drawn to church by the Holy Spirit then they are so disappointed when they get there ... so they leave'...(+100 points for observation) now that was worth being late for church for don't you think....   the guy at the front is not at all thinking hey we should ALL to a dog be full of JOY.....  then the only problem with  church attendance would be where to put everyone....   but the disenfranchised females of the franchise get no leadership in this 'parish'.... little say... so what's important for the people? what's important for the leaders what's important for GOD ? what's important for the elders of the parish!..... 

i arrive at church late and just as i arrive someone is coming around the corner ... 'hey .... did you see X yesterday' me taken aback says 'how do you know that i saw X yesterday?' i feel a little defensive...  the spys are out?...(X is the first of four folks i hadn't seen for a while crammed into one hour  AND X is the person i was Baptised for  then and there  when it happened and in that time not a moment too soon...  they were there and they were the person to put up their hand!)..... well no actually.... what happens was someone i will call mog for obvious reasons....  was having a coffee with friend ... the Presen ce of the Holy spirit ...'hang on GOD's got something for me to do  ... ' they break off midflow looking around..... they are having what is an excitement symptom.... the smell of fragrance ... they say they have never smelt that strong before.. (it is quite a new phenomenon...).. they look around and theri attention is caught by..... outside the coffee shop sitting there is X... so they rush out to talk to X... .... i am told that X after seeing me walked along praying to GOD .... WOW!!!! they are wowed i am wowed!!!  WOW!

hanging out with mog is kindfov interesting... this whole Holy Spirit thing on such a momentum is PRETTY AMAZING!!!!!!  at the end of church i misssed the sermon all of it and there was somehow a Holy Spirit thing going on like simultaneous church was happeneing in the foyer.... and the sit down brigade....


now i told you about me and Communion being ... well me and .....   so taking it to extremes and a journey with this .... with 2 seperate serving stations where am i to sit?.... i ask GOD ... i end up going to one station where i find experience of dunno something...bread is broken at one station wine at the other  and there is dunno a whole lot of stuff going on.... not all i understand....    but Communion was slow the slowest yet and i end up sitting on the floor for both parts.... something.....  i become messenger boy dashing around with short Words for lots of people.... including the janitor who is a little surprised as i am to be delivering this... as they themselves are to do with the building and not our church!....    and then off for coffee with mog
