Greetings from Andover, England

Andrew and I have been in England for two days now, really good to be back here again.

What a funny experience we had at Heathrow on Sunday night. Obviously because of the recent train bombing experience in Madrid, security has been hyped up a bit and Andrew and I were questioned as to our reasons for being in the country etc. by the customs officials. The church conference thing didn't really do it as I actually had very little info about it, I didn't know any addresses or details and I felt at any moment we would be pulled aside for further interrogation. At this stage I was starting to get rather stressed.

The official then proceeded to put me to the test by quoting a scripture and requiring me to supply her with the actual scripture reference. How funny, a godless nation like England?? I immediately responded, "That must be John 10:10!". She then said, "Ok, he's for real and let us through!" The funny thing is, thinking about it, she might have quoted John 3:16 and in fact I gave her the wrong scripture reference! What bizarre experience!
