The day 2 photos from Love Gillingham are in the Flickr album.

Today was another great day and loads of people in the team had some great conversations with people passing by. We even got a few to paint their coat of arms for the mural. Tomorrow we will start to put some of this stuff on the walls.

Today we were reminded that we are masterpieces of God (Ephesians 2:10) and that we called to be salt of the earth; two thoughts that I have been carrying around with me all day.

I have been struck again today by the way we have met God, been struck by God, and challenged by God in the normal everyday stuff that we do. Too often, I think, we look for God in the extraordinary, in the extravagant. It’s not a bad thing to look for God there, but if our search for God is exclusively in the miraculous we miss God in the normal everyday experiences of which he is a part.

God in the ordinary, God in the lives of normal people, transforming and whispering in lives in gentle almost inaudible ways, but whispering none the less.
