Hot stuff

A few years ago the catchphrase in a British comedy show on T-V was, 'It 'aint 'arf 'ot, Mum! Not surprisingly, it has come to mind in recent days! The heat at the tennis tournament seems to have been excessive but the crowds have turned up driven by enthusiasm for their favourite sport. Good for them! I like to see enthusiasm. I have many friends whose enthusiasm for the Christian faith has been no brief spasm but a life-long commitment.I have seen them in the extreme north of Canada or Norway in long, dark, cold winters. I have also seen them in the heat of Africa. The word enthusiasm literally means 'full of God'and folk who are enthusiastic for good causes are needed everywhere. Will the true enthusiasts please stand up!
