Wine and Cheese

(This image is from Shaftsbury. The adorable English town Britt and I stayed in for a few days.)

The last two days have been spent with people in this wonderful church. Being back in Merthyr is really wonderful. Yesterday morning, I spoke with Ang Lloyd (pastor's wife) about purpose. Sometimes, I feel purposeless here. I can't check off a "todo" list all the things I've done. I spend time with people. But look at Christ. He was constantly with people. With Christians and unbelievers. So this is a summer I am able to fully commit time to following in the steps of my Savior. What a sweet time. What about back home? What about our lives full of commitments that we must fulfill? Are we making time for people?

Spent the rest of yesterday with a little girl with a broken foot, a teenage girl in bstudy, and my dear friend Amy. And ended the day with 10pm leftover hot curry. Delish.

Today, I went to Paul and Lisa's house to help watch the kids (they have the new baby). Whew. I again respect any mother soooo much. I kept trying to clean and then needing to go pull the boys out boxes they had gotten stuck in or get apple juice in a cup. But after the boys went to bed, Lisa, Paul, Dave (a guy in the church here), and I had a marvelous meal. And the meal was followed by wine and cheese. Which was followed by banana cream pie. MMM.

Oh and we watched "God TV". Yes this exists. Many men that preach false teachings to massive crowds. Where is the Gospel? That we are sinners and that is unacceptable to the Holy God that created us. That trusting in Jesus Christ as your Savior is the only way to heaven and forgiveness of sins. Where is this truth in the midst of talking about the fire from our mouths and slamming people to the ground in the name of God?
