I had one of the saddest and most frustrating conversations of my life at The Gathering’s Soup Kitchen last night.Frustrating because it was of a theme that keeps rearing its ugly head, and sad because we the church are responsible.

Suddenly the clouds rolled in, the sky went dark and an almighty thunderstorm unleashed itself right above us. Thank you Lord!After a few minutes of messing about in the rain enjoying its cooling touch (it was 35°C just after lunchtime), we grabbed every available bucket and got busy harvesting as much rain as we could. In the end I reckon we got about 200Lts, which isn't a lot but it will keep the loos flushing for a while longer. 😃
It was fun to watch Eli revel in the rain and even funnier to see him get pelted by the brief hail storm.
