Our Broken World.

The other week I was doing intercessions at the family service in Acomb, and I wanted to do the prayer activity when we pass around the globe while a piece of music is playing, and people say the name of a country or place that they see on it. There were going to be about 60 people at the service, so I thought it would be a good idea to use two globes really. So I brought two inflatable globes with me.

Anyway, one of the globes refused to blow up. I spent about 15 minutes on it before I realised that the reason it wasn't blowing up was because it had a rip in the side. I almost threw it away and decided to just use the other globe, when I realised that actually I could use the "broken" globe as well.

So I brought both globes with me, explaining that the whole globe was the way God wanted it to be, and the "broken" globe
was the way it is at the moment. So we passed bother globes around and rounded up the prayers by offering God our "broken" world (hold up the broken one) and asking Christ to make it whole (hold up the whole one).
