WATER IN MY MOUTH

Sounds like something profound is about to come forth doesn't it, lots of yeah's & verily's. Not really. I was just thinking about a preacher I heard many years ago who used to swim every day for an hour in the sea. Not in the cold wild Atlantic of course, but in the Caribbean....nice if you can get it. And he said back then how he would spend an hour praying in tongues everyday while he swam. When I first heard this I didn't swim regularly, so after a few days I forgot about it but thought he must be a great guy to do all that praying.

Don't know why, but after many years that memory came back to me the other day. I swim 3 or 4 times a week now, so maybe that's why. Anyway I started to pray in tongues as I swam in my local pool in Carrigaline. Try as I might I couldn't get the hang of it. I swallowed so much pool water, and the life guard started giving me strange looks. I decided to make a hasty retreat only to be approached by an older gentleman from the next swimming lane asking if I felt allright today.

Maybe that preacher was a better swimmer than me, or had a different shaped mouth, or more of an anointing, or maybe he was just mouthing off all those years ago. Just as well we're not cynical!
