Today is going to be the day.

So this morning I prayed, but, instead of forgetting as usual, included the line that God would create opportunities for me to share the christian faith was, so I explained that yes, historically, Jesus did come to Earth, and yes, Jesus died, but I also explained that he died to save us from what we do wrong that could potentialy send us to hell, and I explained the jewish history behind the idea of the lamb of Gowith people his love and his truth. Well I was sat waiting for a bus with 2 school mates, and one of them made a comment about Jehovahs Witness's. He then asked if I was one, and so I said no and that I was a christian, and thus, was a member of the christian faith. So he asked what exactlyd. He did ask a few more questions, untill the point he said 'I just can't get m head around it, it just doesn't seem to make sense,' but there was an element of uncertainty about what he was saying in his voice. I think I've planted a seed. Lord, that I will be able to nuture this seed, and that the hearts of the stubborn will be softened.


In any other business, our corps building project means that in January our Salvation Army Corp (church) will hopefully be kicked out our suite of buildings. It looks like our youth will be adopting a cell group style. This is good news I feel, because the sense of community in our youth has wained of late. There used to be a time when it was all inclusive, and now we have gone to the opposite end of the spectrum, where no one seems to care anymore. With a bit of luck we will find a happy medium between January and July.

Well todays potential debate issue for all those musicians out there: what makes the performance of salvationist music, or worship songs and arrs. any more an act of worship then playing a piece of music about nature, which is surely a celebration of God's creation. Why play 'Bind us together' in the offering, and not 'Seed Capsule' by Joby Talbot? Just another thought. It might spark Discussion of sorts, it migh not.

Could someone please help with what apppears to be a cryptic message. For some reason my heart keeps repeating a line from the Toreádor song from Carmen by Bizet. The line is 'Let me return your toast gentlemen - we bullfighters and soldiers understand each other.' I don't believe the first part is important, but I feel that the soldiers and bullfighters represent something or a group of people . Maybe the soldiers are salvationists. OOO, I've just had a thought. The bullfighters were showmen, attracting peoples attention. This is like the media. The soldiers are christians. We should be attracting peoples attention the the Gospel on as large a scale as the bullfighters.

Maybe, or Maybe I think too much, but then mind you, God did give me a brain to think, and it is a brain that looks for these metaphores and other such things.

Questions, Questions, Questions.

Anyway, prayers, keep praying, and God bless all of you.
