I ran a few erands, then met with one of Arthur's old friends at the Pavilion. It was such a blessing to chat about how God had been dealing with us individually, and in our separate churches, since we had last seen each other. Pumeza said something to me that challenged me hugely regarding the way that I am interacting with people in my church and with my friends... She said that sermons and Bible studies are where leaders tell her facts that she can read for herself in the Bible i.e. they fill her head with knowledge. But Arthur showed them how to live the gospel i.e. how to translate the principles that they were taught, into daily living.
I bought my bus tickets to Welkom, then bought a family size KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) meal to take home to the humans and pets living in Queensburgh. It was so-o-o good to eat one of SA's favourite take away meals. The humans get the meat, and the pets get the juicy bones, and everyone goes to bed with a smile on their faces.
Tomorrow I hope to be attending my old church in Hillcrest, and meeting up with Christian friends.
