Hands Up! I Was Wrong.

Those that know me will know I'm awkward and sometime find the need to disagree with people just because I'm wrong.

Ive sometimes looked a church Rules as Crazy (and some are) but I have since learnt that the church is a Group of people and some of the rules set out have to be lenient to suit different needs.

Ive not really ever given Salvation Army officers much time and maybe always looked at them as authority figures and maybe not one of the church goers. OK tongue in check Ive joked about stuff to do with there work and always said it an easy job (only having to work on a Sunday) but actually its a full time (sometimes 24 hours a day life style)

Now, when are South African officers decided to do a major revamp of the hall, I said it was a stupid idea. Ive also almost kept them at arms length being ''Officers'' and maybe Ive always been jealous of people that do that type of work as it work Id Love to be able to do.

Well ''Hands Up'' Alaster and Cathleen are 2 of the nicest people Ive meet and in the last 6 months have been there when I needed them. The work they do and the commitment they have is inspiring and has really meant a lot to me.

Sad thing is that they leave town today to go onto another town. So thought Id write this blog today so they couldn't have a go at me for it.

I guess sometimes its hard to stick our hands up and admit we where totally wrong and sometimes we have to listen to others and see both sides.

Is there someone you disagree with. Well try and look at there ideas and maybe there's a point you missing or if you listen to them there maybe a compromise.

Good Luck to the Versfeld Family you will be missed here but we know God has work for you in Peterbourgh.

Oh and you won me over which is a another result from your time here. Hope your to see you soon. and if I get a chance for England v South Africa ticket later this year I let you know.
