Adrian and the Magical Morning

I got up early today, with the intention of doing some extra revision before church. I had a good walk in the crisp air, and then managed to not do any revision before leaving for church. I did not think much would happen, but going to church is a good part of the week, and I am pleased to go even when it seems quite mundane.

As I got to the door, a student whom I had not seen before shook my hand and said "hi, now, I'm going to need your help to get through this".

Ok, I'm intrigued.

We stop just inside, as people are milling about, chatting. Drawing no attention. He introduces himself as Adrian. I say that I am Sam. He tells me of his mission. He is not a Christian, but has come to church as someone suggested it. He's made a New Year's Resolution to say "yes" to things people ask him to. And furthermore, to introduce himself to as many people as possible, to encourage them to give him things to say yes to.

I have not got further than the cover, but this idea is based on a book, which sounds like it may be interesting. By that man who tried to set up his own country on BBC2.

So I introduced Adrian to some people after church. It was possibly one of the most fun things which has happened to me at 11am on a Sunday morning.

As I said in the title of this post, it seemed a little bit magical. Like something which happens in films. I'm just grateful that it happened to be me who got randomly involved in this piece of Interesting Life.
