NOT a conflict.
Seems to be a conflict.
Today.
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
today we play them at home 12noon.
It is the local WAR
Rugby League WAR!
AND
I will miss it
but watch on record 3/4 hours later
(so please don't send me messages)!
Canterbury Cathedral.
3 hour Good Friday Service.
Me and Mrs Beautiful will be there.
Kick Off exactly the same.
It is a quiet service.
So much time for an inner journey.
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 today.
Where and how will you journey today?
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 ball.
I want to refresh my irritation.
I want to sacrifice security for freedom.
Have a great Easter - what ever you may be doing.
Pip BHP
