God Has A Good Sense Of Humour

The Lord has a good sense of humour.

In 1992, I was working as a patent attorney in a Swiss multinational pharmaceutical company called Sandoz.

I had been asked to fill out a form, in which Sandoz had asked me where I would be prepared to go and live - if the company wanted to send me abroad to work for them. At the time, I was involved in the leadership of a charismatic English-speaking free church.

I said to Maddy, my wife flippantly:

“I’ll go anywhere in the English speaking world except England.

Then I added that If I go to England, I’ll never go to an Anglican church. (as we were attending a Pentecostal free church)

And if I ever go to an Anglican church, I’ll never become a vicar”

I was ordained a Priest inn the Anglican Church in 2002

It is interesting that we say the Lord’s prayer every Sunday – “Thy will be done”, but how often do we really ask the Lord what his will is?
