Train Conversation

Overhead train conversation this morning.
Any resemblance of descriptors to real life people and conversation are purely coincidental

PSA Union Man who gets on at Featherston:  So I was reading Ecclestsiastes last night
Belly dancing VUW Canadian Counsellor lady who gets on at Greytown: Oh, so that's the Bible right?
PSA Union Man: Yeah, that's right
.

The thing is a) I so did not think the PSA man was a Christian
b) I needed to be reminded of Ecclesiastes.  My favourites Chapetr is 3:  A Time for Everything,
c) the way the PSA mana dropped in the reference to his reading , was like he was reflecting on a novel or a Tv programme he had watched last night.

Then he shared with excitement  what he was having for lunch: celery.  And  so moving on from Ecclestiates for about 5 mins they discussed how wonderful celery was!

So, I'm revisiting Ecclesiastes and trying to keep in mind Jeremiah 29:11

For i know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord - plans for you to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future...

So biblical reference today thanks to the inspiration of the PSA man....a most unexpected source.

Knee slowly healing.  Might actually make it to Body Balance this Friday
