Deeper shade of grey | on the move

A

rriving late to Laos (The Youth Congregation of TSA where I attend) is a good way of meeting the ‘outside crew’! Jim sits on the wall outside Nunhead Salvation Army and gives me a cursory ‘lright?’ I reciprocate with my own ‘lright’ and smile.

‘You going in there…?’ Jim gestures over his shoulder to the entrance to the church where worship can be heard.

‘I thought I might…’

Jim continues ‘You looking for God in there…?’

I’m not sure that this is the time for a debate into the omnipresent nature of God - so I reply ‘I guess I am…?’

‘Well you’ll be wasting your time - I wouldn’t bother…!’

‘why’s that then…?’

‘he’s moved’

‘moved…?’

Nodding over his shoulder to the door Jim continues ‘yeah… last week they all came out saying that God had really moved…!!’
