Who? Me?

 

Years ago I worked in London, close to Saint Paul's Cathedral. I used to spend many a lunch hour visiting all the churches around the city.

No one at work knew I was a Christian. Talking about religion and politics was not encouraged at work. People confined their discussions to the weather, what's on TV, football or cricket. Subjects of little interest to me.

One day I visited St Paul's Cathedral with a  colleague. As we entered the vast building he waved his hand in the air in grandiose fashion and said, "Tell me Vic, do you believe in all that?" Meaning God and Christianity.

I could have smiled and said nothing. I replied, "Yes, as a matter of fact, I do!"

He said nothing.

I noticed that from that day he acted differently towards me. More polite and respectful. So did other colleagues. In time, other senior managers also acted differently towards me a junior. I discovered some of them were Christian too but had said nothing beforehand.

Many years later, I joined a small radio station in my spare time and presented a Christian program entitled "Time for Reflections". You can hear some of the old tapes by clicking on the tab "Reflections Soundtracks" at the top of this page.

In 2007 I published my first book "VISIONS". Other books followed over the years.

I did not set out to write Christian books and a Christian Blog and Websites. It happened gradually.

What I'm trying to say is that we can all serve the Lord, in our different ways, if we are prepared to listen to His prompting.
