An opportunity taken

Have you ever been around someone you know has spent large portions of their life in the presence of God?

I had one of those experiences today. 3 of us staff at Stanley House got up early, drove 2 and a half hours to Dundee, crammed into a small room with 40 other people to sing worship songs and listen to this man talk for 4 hours via a translator. His name is Dr. Atif and he's an Egyptian man who apparently has spent many months alone with God in the desert, done multiple 40 day fasts ingesting nothing but water and spoken all over the world, among other things. His thoughts were deep and lofty. Thought-provoking and convicting. Revelatory and Bible-based. I took many notes but I know that I caught only a small portion of what was said. Now comes the task of processing and applying. But that's why we have the Holy Spirit...
