Recently I have been really struggling with some issues, things going round and round in my head. My first port of call most of the time is God and my friends. As a Christian I find prayer necessary and compulsory, its my communication with the God I have a personal relationship with. I feel very blessed to have a lot of friends who are willing to put up with my random thoughts and concerns.
As I drove home tonight I noticed one of the 'slightly strange' regulars from my local leaning outside, clearly needing the wall to hold him up. I guarantee whatever night of the week it is, he is in there. He never seems to have anyone with him, he just walks around the pub, drinking pint after pint, slightly scaring punters with his quirky ways! It made me think, why is he always in there? Who does he have to talk to? What is it that he finds potential comfort from in the pub? Why does he not want to stay home? How many people are filling voids in their lives this way? (this isn't the first time I have thought like this obviously!) Maybe too many questions (I am an over thinker!) I felt sorry for him, and it led me to write it all out....!
