It all depends

There's an Easter Sunrise Service on Swansea Bay on ... well, Easter Sunday. It starts at 5.30 am ready for sun rise at 5.50, and it's being organised by a number of churches across the city as part of Hope08. This is a nationwide initiative to bring hope to our towns and cities through community action. How a crowd of Christians meeting on the beach at a time when normal people will be in bed fits that criterion is beyond me but greater minds than mine came up with it. Admittedly one of those minds was Alun's, so you can probably begin to see a flaw here.

He asked me this morning if I was going to the service. I said, 'That depends.'
'On what?'
'Whether it's raining.'
'You fair-weather Christian you!'
'And whether I can be bothered to get out of bed.'

It'll be full of proper Christians anyway, some of whom might even have fasted beforehand. Not that I've got anything against fasting you understand. On the rare - very rare - occasions that I've tried it, it hasn't been God I've spent my time listening to but my stomach telling me how hungry I am. I am such a bad Christian! It's incredible that Jesus still loves me too bits! Isn't that comforting?
