Saturday 2nd August

It's rainy in France! Have met a lot of the guests here who do the "Life Every Day' notes. One of them very kindly commented that it's like I'm a part of their life every day - they know me very well, and it feels like I ought to know them too! It struck me that it's an enormous privilige to be able to help people, many of whom I will never meet, on the journey of faith. And it also means that when writing becomes a huge challenge, and deadlines loom, it's all worthwhile. Another man, a relatively new Christian (I think) came up to me and said, with a huge smile, 'Don't ever stop writing those notes...'.
