Back to Boras and still no Swedish Restaurant

Do they have Italian restaurants in Italy? They don't have English Restaurants in England and now we have discovered they don't have Swedish Restaurants in Boras. So we went to a Spanish Restaurant full of Swedes eating Burger and chips! We're back in Boras as the conference has ended. Watched Arsenal play Milan with Swedish commentary and I type this listening to Radio 4 off the internet. It's a small world and the umbelical cords that link us to home are now more like bungee rope.
the last day of the conference proved very intense with two more young theologians sharing their wisdom on the subject of Christian confirmation training. One used a particularly good image to explain how we approach faith.
The bride is someone who is in love and wants to find out more about the object of her love, God.
The comsmonaut is someone who wants facts, who wants to find out more details about this God phenomena.
The sportsfan is keen to join the team of people who are trying to find out bout and serve God and people.
Finally there is the Knight who wants to change the world and fight for justice and in the Christian context to fight the good fight.
Strikes me this could be a description of anyone who would engage in anything! It's a good reminder that not everyone is like you but may well be motivated in a different way to you.
