I'm sorry, Mr O, I'm not going to be great company today. I feel really down.
Go on, then. Tell me about it.
To be honest, Mr O, my Christian life is in a mess. Over the past few weeks my times with the Lord have been very hit and miss. I'm not reading the Bible as I should. My prayers are shallow. I've been impatient with people at work. I've said some harsh things to a church member. And I could go on and on. The fact is I'm a spiritual wreck and I'm ashamed of it.
Have you been going regularly to church?
Yes, twice on Sunday and once in the week. But, of course, I've not been going to the communion services.
Why 'of course'?
