Saw a familiar site this morning on the other side of the road. A group of JW's with their unique walk, suits and dresses, clutching their little cases and folders full of literature.
It's quite a long road so I knew they would be along in about an hour so this time I was prepared, I proudly displayed my 'God Is Not Great' book in the porch so it would be clearly visible even before I came to the door and also went to the trouble of creating a lovely t-shirt which read..
In large friendly and colourful letters.
Sure enough, the familiar knock on the door came and I eagerly skipped down the hall, opened the door and gave the well dressed man with an attache case a big smile and thrust my chest in his general direction.
He took a moment to glance at my newly created t-shirt, handed me a few leaflets, smiled and then left. I must admit that I was a little disappointed as I had gone to quite a lot of trouble.
However, my efforts were rewarded later as I strolled around my local supermarket. As I was walking towards the the fruit and veg counters a vicar came in with a young girl, probably his daughter. He was a middle aged man, wirey and full of that nervous, bouncy energy that young trendy vicars have. As we passed each other he had so much trouble taking his eyes off the slogan proudly emblazoned on my t-shirt that he tripped over his daughters feet and broke into one of those funny little runs you do when you've lost your footing and you're desperately trying to regain your balance, which he eventually did.
This really cheered me up.
