Cross Vigil
DAY 32: Thursday 15 October
The legs give it away; he's French. He was this way before
and came back today for more. He has a problem with hypocrisy in politics
and in the church; but then so do I! So we're in good company.
Ted has a problem with the Muslims wanting to set up Sharia
Law in the UK, but I have no problem with Chinese. You don't often see
Chinese delivery guys wearing suits, but this is Belfast! Thanks Martine.
It was awesome!

Tommy Latimer's birthday today; but we still had him working
hard. They say there's no rest for the wicked; sometimes this fits.
Pastor Gary Beattie, Bangor Elim, came by for a while. Sorry about the
photo Gary; it doesn't do justice for either of us!
Judith, from the Evangelical Alliance, came by to do an
interview with me. You can see it soon at http://www.tellitincolour.com.
While we were talking an elderly gentleman crossed the road for a chat.
He passes by at 2.10 pm as he walks through the gates from the Shankill
to the Falls and comes back again around 2.30. Today he wanted to tell
me about the good service he enjoyed at his church on Sunday, St. Stephen's
Church of Ireland.
Ah! A welcome sight! The coffee that is. I always like
a coffee after a Chinese. Thanks Anna. Paul "Adder" Kyle took
some time out of his days work to show some solidarity with his pastor.
I hope his boss doesn't find out! I deeply appreciate members who run
the risk of getting sacked on behalf of their pastor. Thanks Paul.
William and Elizabeth had bad news on Sunday, but great
news today. They came to share it with me. We thank God and continue
to pray for them and for the little life within. God is so good.
