Well, this was a first. I was sitting at
Caffegio, my favorite coffee shop and new writing place,
when this guy came in and recognized me. He asked if I was Gordon Atkinson, the
guy who does Real Live Preacher.
For a second I just froze, my Chai Tea halfway
to my lips.
"Uh....yeah," I stammered.
It was a little strange, I must admit. I've
become accustomed to some folks out there in cyber space knowing who I am, but
this was real life. However, it turned out to be a serendipitous kind of moment.
His name is
Cristopher, and yes that's the correct
spelling. He's a new Episcopal priest and an associate minister at a local
church. We ended up talking shop - sermons, church, life, all of that. These kind
of conversations are valuable. If one drops on you, grab it if you can. There's
always time to write later.
Cristopher, it was great talking with you. I
look forward to the next time. You know where to find me!
