Today was the first day of the mind body spirit fair at Gmex in Manchester. It was fairly quiet, but no doubt it'll get busier over the weekend. I often do Jesus deck readings on the stand, they're a great tool and really open up some conversations. They're basically the gospel stories told in card form, I get a person to select a card and then through that tell them the story the card refers to. It's like blindly opening the bible and picking a text - I have major problems with this way of reading the text but, quite bizarrely, i cannot deny that God works through it at MBS.
For example, today i did a reading for a woman, she picked a card that made reference to Luke 24, it had a picture of two angels on it and the text said 'Why do you look for the living among the dead?'. I spoke around the card, explained it's meaning and then suggested that she was looking for the death when she should be looking for life. She then explained that her father had died eight years ago and for the last few years she'd be having poltegiest experiences that she thought was her father...wierd as fish.
