The start of the weekend saw us going for a coffee with a guy that we had recently met and as it turns out had something in common with us. Several years ago, in the early stages of setting up a project for the homeless, Amanda, me and our pastor Chris got involved with a woman who was a long term drug user and over several months and many very strange adventures with her to various rehab clinics, got her into one called Gilead. This is a brilliant place right on the edge of Dartmoor. As it happens, the guy that we were meeting for coffee knew this lady as he was there for re-hab also and while there had cleaned himself up and is now going to bible college with a view to doing an MA.....what a small world this can be at times eh? The lady by the way has been leading a steady life for the last few years with her boyfriend and has settled down.

Dear Gary, I am filled with admiration at what you say about being involved with, and assisting, those who have been, or indeed are, drug users. This is a very difficult area and those people who suffer this form of illness are in need of all the help they are able to get. I am pleased that the outcome for the two people you mention has been positive.
ReplyDeleteThe view over Poole Harbour is lovely - less so the lunch (!) but made up for by what looks to have been a really delicious supper. Roast pork and crackling is a real treat.
I hope that you have a good week with all your gardens.
