Interesting few days...

- one meeting that went well, dealt with tough issues and felt constructive and supportive; by contrast another meeting that seemed to be going well until some there became critical of me without any sense of wanting to be constructive - see how these Christians love one another.

Then we had wedding yesterday which was great fun, and a Baptism this morning with an extremely cute baby and a packed church - many of whom were morris dancers! Sadly no demonstration - I did ask...!

Why do I connect so much better with those 'outside' the church than with those 'inside'? And am I letting one group of people cloud my vision for how God sees me...? I feel as though I really am doing my best, but for some people when I fail - even a little - I must be made an example of.

happy day...

good day today, if a little tiring and wet!


it's all been about my favourite aspect of work, vocation and personality - being around children.

this morning was at a pre-schoolers' group, making musical instruments out of recycling, hearing how the boy David played music to lift the spirit of king Saul, and singing if you're happy and you know it to the sounds of toddlers and shakers!

this afternoon, spending time with two classes at a primary school watching a bit of Ice Age and then talking about bereavement and the place of funerals. and the wet part? stood in the pouring rain in the playground talking to a parent about baptism! all what i am made for...

and now i am about to sit down to a load of paperwork which i am legally obliged to care about enough to do efficiently...

administration - what would Jesus do?

the point is...?

so I have finally ventured into the world of blogging... 'T-dog' sitting on the sofa wants to know why I feel the need to have a blog. I'm not entirely sure I have a good reason! why this need to be so public? is it all about ego? what's the point of a blog anyway, and will it make me a better person...?
