Good Friday is a normal day here, so nothing special happened except evangelism on the market in the morning. I preached from 1 Corinthians 15:1-34 on Sunday morning. The theme was the importance of the resurrection.
We had some visitors: some friends of Esther’s parents who own a house in central Brittany. They joined us for worship and came home for lunch. After they left, we wen for a long walk in the countryside, enjoying the sunshine.
Today was the school carnival. We had a beautiful sunshine, and a lot of fun. There was all sorts of costumes. There were several superheroes, footballers, princesses, cowboys… But only one rastafari. I only saw one policeman, but there could have been more. We went back to the school after wandering through the streets. We had crepes and fruit juices with the children. In Brittany, you have crepes all the time. If you are ever considering moving here, you’ll have to learn to like them.
No feeling ready at all. Not feeling ready for the sermons on Sunday nor the presentations for the rest of the week. Still some phone calls to make to sort out hospitality….. Need to cut the lawn before tonight (started this morning, almost done). There is a meeting this afternoon, followed by Carnival in School.
I am sure I’ll forget something….
We know that we live in a global economy, but we don’t pay attention to it very often. We have clothes and food, and never ask how far they have travelled to get to us. Yet sometimes it hits us. I ordered a new laptop on a website recently. I can track its journey on the web.
It started somewhere in China a couple of days ago. It left Shanghai yesterday, and since then it has been through Korea, and is now in Kazakhstan. I’ll post the whole journey when it arrives.
