Slightly strange day today.
I went out for a coffee with my friend M. (Hi M. if you are reading this!!!) who works for the adolescent equivalent of the team I work for. So anyway, we are chatting/gossiping away quite happily and suddenly we broach the subject of church. I still don't know how the conversation came about, but anyway. So, a few minutes into this conversation M. suddenly throws me off track and tells me he has been to an Alpha course and has been going to a local church. This is all great, but it was just a really strange moment. One minute we had been happily bitching away about some of the legendary nightmare clients we both know, and the next minute we are talking about God.
Now M. tells me that he hasn't quite make the decision to become a Christian yet... his main issue with it seems to be actually dropping over the edge and acknowledging that he can't reason this stuff through. The one thing I know though is that he doesn't have a chance... God seriously has his number and he keeps on dialing it! Result!!
Seriously though, it was an amazing time. I walked back into my office thinking “what was that all about” and yet I felt strangely thrilled by the way things work out. Is it a bad thing to be smug when you see God cornering someone else as much as he is cornering you?
