I'm reading Jeff Lucas' book "Faith in the Fog". A book which puts the encounter of Jesus and Peter under the lens of a skillful writer with a reflective heart. I'm loving it. Touching on disillusion, depression, shame and wrong beliefs about God, it is hitting where it hurts. February is a diffident month, a month of snowdrops and sparkling mornings but also hazy dank soaked days like the one above. When you wear a woolly hat walking at 7.30am not because it's cold but because dripping water vapour makes fine, baby soft hair turn into unruly spikes - just the look I want to cultivate at work!
Sometimes I feel like I am walking in fog in winter. But I do need to enjoy moments like taking this photo. Because it turned into a pretty decent day when the mists cleared. I love reading books with my bookclub - they suggest ones like the author above that I have never heard of. Conversations open up with others when I'm caught, deep in a book in a public place. Stealth evangelism is my style - I am always delighted and surprised when a book opens a conversation to a little deeper glimpse into someone's heart.
As a child I devoured books, as a adult I am not much better!
