Hooked

[poliphilo]

That was Low Sunday. Not many came to church. After the service I picked dandelions. I gave the flowers to Ourdert and the leaves to the rabbits.

And I befriended a young man who turned out to have a rather ticklish problem. We brought him home and I found myself ringing round, trying to find him the specialised help he needs. I got somewhere, I think- but the story isn't over yet..

I still struggle against being pulled into church life, but the more I struggle the further the hook goes in. As Ailz points out, I was carrying on yesterday- in taking the young man under my wing- as if I were the bloody vicar.

I think it's wonderful that you're helping. More people should be willing to reach out and help someone if they see they are in trouble. I've always done that - frankly, sometimes when someone gets into difficulties, they're no longer able to think clearly, and they need someone who can sit down and say "OK, here's what we're going to do" and work up a plan for them.

The guy has been to church two or three times- on his own-and I thought it was time someone spoke to him. I didn't have a clue what I was getting into :)
