The Saints V Eternal significance




NOT a conflict.
Seems to be a conflict.

TODAY Friday
Good Friday.

St Helens / The Saints - Rugby League
v
Canterbury Cathedral 

Ever since I was a child growing up in St Helens
Good Friday has been the derby game
between The Pies v The Saints.

The Pies a 'friendly' name for 'The Pie Eaters'
= Wigan Rugby League team
who play at the Piedome

They are the number one team to beat.
Always and forever amen.
AND
Friday we play them at Wigan 3 PM. 

It is the local WAR
Rugby League WAR!

AND
I will miss it
but I will watch on playback one hour later
(so please don't send me messages)!


Canterbury Cathedral.
3 hour Good Friday Service.

Me and Mrs Beautiful will be there.
Kick Off  3 pm.

It is a quiet service.
So much time for an inner journey.
I want to be alone this day
I want to feel it
I want to be emotional
I want to be shaken inside.

So much reflective time.
FEELING the journey
to the cross
to liberation
to freedom
to shaking of the earth
to FEEL the pain
the sacrifice
my purpose and direction for living.

So we journey through two extremes.

Where and how will you journey this week?

Where will you journey to today? 
Friday?
Will it be a physical journey?
Will it be a inner journey?

I yearn for this life of stretch and purpose.
I want to be shaken.
I want to be disturbed.
I want to feel ever tackle
every thorn
every drop of blood spilled
every nail
every earth shattering blow and spill of the rugby ball.

I want to refresh my irritation.
I want to sacrifice security for freedom.

Have a great Easter - what ever you may be doing.

You Are Beautiful .......................
