Realising that having a day off in a week is a Good Idea. Having it. Deep chats with the lovely Ruth Hunt, an old friend from Uni. The kind of chats that put the world to rights and make us want to love Jesus more than we do. All over some chocolate, trout, wine and chocolate bread and butter pudding. Glad, as ever, to have chats with someone who understands this life, struggles with the same stuff and yet still wants to say in Jesus there is greater satisfaction than anything else this world can offer. Somehow life seems more managable after nights like tonight. There is something in the sharing that lightens the darkness just enough to see the next step, or at least have the faith to keep on putting one foot in front of the other when you can't see anything.
