Bedtime seems to be getting later and later. Tonight we finished a busy day with a tasty, tasty midnight feast at the curry house. Pasanda, Mushroom Pilau. Always. Beautiful.
Earlier on the day we spent a good chunk of time with Katie Pearson (and those two other folk who hang around with her). Katie was extremely cuddly and we're sure she's gonna grow up to be a lovely and fantastic person - especially with parents as cool as hers. God bless you Pearson family!
Session was good tonight. After a mighty long time of sung worship (about an hour) we had Sandra Ryan in to remind me how far I've got to go before I live like Jesus. Wowzers. I think everyone should be supplied with a flak jacket and body shield to hide behind when people like Sandra speak. We were all transfixed but I'm sure that everyone was wondering whether she might do something crazy any second - and maybe pick them to do something very public and shameless.
Even the illustration she started with was fairly coarse. Before saying anything she picked 19 people from the congregation to stand in a line at the front and then asked them if they believed in God. And if they didn't they had the option to go back to sit down. She used these guys to talk about the 19 who were responsible for the 9/11 acts of terrorism - which Sandra pointed out that, whilst they were horrendous acts of violence, they were also incredible acts of faith. You don't see faith like that - she repeated.
Then the venue shut down and we went outside to pray during the sunset. Nice. Must...remember...challenge...

Sunday was by far the best day of Roots. I was in the Big Top for the evening celebration and it was very good. Steve Chalke spoke with conviction and passion. He was spot on with what he said. The way people responded was so humbling. The praise party afterwards too was so vibrant! Such a good day.
