HeyI am aware that a Bank Holiday or a week-end of it - is not good for some humans.
Others love the break from routine.
Early mornings.
Commuting.
Thinking - even working but
some suffer more and feel some aching emerging through the cracks,
cracks on view due to a break of busyness ........
Had a roll out of bed to church this morning
followed by a quick coffee with Mr Singh,
he is a Carpenter - I love Carpenters.
He is now working on the Olympic site - did you know that is being held, in year 2012, on the Wilson Mansions Estate - a place called Stratford?
Joan and me met Sheila today at J. Sheekey for lunch,
maybe you may need a nice/extra/treat/special when you visit London.
This may be it?
It is a fish restaurant and really good.
I was sat next to the TV human, of wild life fame - BBC naturalist and presenter David Attenborough.
Also someone else I recognise but lost the name somewhere in the cloud in my head.
Also Kwame was in there and I know 'B*n*' eats there too.
Then we got home to watch our team on TV.
We were playing our biggest rival 'The Pie Eaters - sometimes called Wigin.
We absolutely thrashed them 57 - 16 ..................... hey hey.
Such a great pleasure ...........
Sooooooooooo ...... I note that all these, above, are largely FACTS which is only Level 2 Communication.
I am committed to 'L5' so that means I need to connect to FEELINGS, my soul, the washing machine in my interior, which sometimes spins ......
I am feeling ....... I have feelings about all the paragraphs above.
The humans I mention.
The places visited today.
The Saints - what a team and what thrills they give my soul.
I have a feeling about something not mentioned.
This morning when I went to the Communion rail to receive Communion -
I directed a thought to God as I knelt there.
I said something like::
'It was a big decision I made back there when I was 21 years old. That decision to be a follower. Not just having a faith. Not just a belief, but actually placing myself into a large pair of hands, actually referencing decisions. Those decisions to follow the road less travelled - that decision, at 21, has changed my life so, SO, many times'.
I reflected on the crossroads which have changed my life.
Some which meant geographical location change
(I know lots of Christians who have given their life to God, as long as they can stay at home - in their own cultural group/district (but maybe a better house - and certainly a better job!)
Some decisions were about the humans I reached out to. (Loved - I mean)
Some about the place I/we lived in.
About when I felt I was battering my head against a spiritual wall.
When I realised that I needed to change my belief system.
The limited picture I had of Jesus.
That God would answer my prayers because they were long or loud.
The massive decision to enter in to a different relationship with him.
The decision I made to discover emotions - to let myself cry .......................... and feel a deeper sense of God.
And even - to enter in/on/to a road less travelled - that was within myself.
Maybe that communion rail was another set of crossroads?
Maybe there is one before me now as I click?
I will look for crossroads - more-so from now on..............
