No Gomers

My Europe trip has been a blur. Two weeks in other time zones means laying awake at night… I got revelation after revelation…but I forgot to write it all down. I kept thinking, there must be a good blog in this somewhere. Then it happened. I was speaking at a conference in Wales and I was trying to do my usual comedy routine (the Doug and Pony Show) which was not going over big in the UK. Then in an attempt to expound on a deep spiritual principle I told a Gomer Pyle parable.  Then it dawned on me, I was standing in one of the few places on earth that has never heard of Gomer, Andy or Mayberry. At that point I knew I was in a far away land. I think I better watch Monte Python or Austin Powers next time I go.

 
Best coffee shops in the world

Just leaving Holland and on my way to the UK. We did an outreach in the Red Light district of Amsterdam. Not a good place to window shop if you know what I mean. We went into the Coffee Shops where coffee is not the main item on the menu (they legal sell and smoke dope in Amsterdam Coffee Shops). What a great place for God’s light and a chance for me to brush up on my ability to interpret drug-induced dreams. The most common response after interpreting their dreams was …”Uuhhh…” We had some great encounters despite the haze. A new spiritual awakening is starting in Holland among young people.  It looks different… as most moves of God do.
