Cross Vigil
DAY 24: Tuesday 6 October
It was a dry day, but a bit on the cold side; although
nothing to complain about. In fact no matter how cold it gets, and even
if it does rain we will not complain. What's the point!
Just a few highlights for the day: Raymond brought
a welcome cup of coffee. It was warm and in a nice little coloured paper
cup, but then Anna came along with STARBUCKS in a proper larger STARBUCKS
MUG! Beat that one guys! HOWEVER, it is all equally appreciated.
Not to much by way of activity. Tommy Latimer came
along to discuss Stadium Projects and give me an update on the development
of the Peace Pole etc. Mr. Indescribable, Kevin the Muffin Man, came
by, not only to let me have a muffin, but to talk about some exciting
fund raising ideas for the Peace Pole and for the building fund.
Our friend from San Francisco, Ward Stothers, stopped
by for a chat and to give some moral support. As we were talking a man
on his way through the gates to the Falls stopped for while. He explained
about his several health problems and alcohol problem. When I asked
his name he said, "John"! At that moment I swung the cross
round so he could see John 3:16. He immediately recognised it, but then
said, "What does it mean?"
As I began to quote John 3:16 he quickly joined in
showing he knew most of it, but unfortunately does not know the reality
of it in his life. I spent time with him explaining the need to personally
invite Christ into his life. We then prayed for him regarding his illnesses
and his alcohol problem. Pray for John.
