I needed the loo and Tesco was there. Not the greatest bathrooms in all the land but proximity won the day. A piece of yellow lined paper had been flung to the floor. I picked it up as it reminded me of the last time I did and the paper said: UFO DRIVE.
Do you imagine like I do? What is a UFO Drive? And can I go on one?
My yellow crumpled lined paper was in my pocket and as it lay there I imagined…
Was it a fragment?
Was it a letter?
Of course it was a shopping list but I still wondered. It was still interesting to me because someone dropped it.
I wonder were some of the gospels and epistles dropped? Half-burned? Half soiled? And how do we know we got the full shopping list?
Before I head too much out of orthodox thinking. Before I dive into the muddy waters of heresy. I pause. I stop myself. I pray.
I come back to the present. Back to my reality. I now have a yellow lined stump of a paper with someone else’s shopping list in Polish. I hope they got their messages before the drop.
John 8:31-32
To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
The truth is the only thing I should be seeking…
