Here’s what I said on Sunday.
I ask you. Which sounds more fun – the fleshpots of Egypt or wandering aimlessly in the desert?
It is not hard to have some sympathy with the children of Israel. Moses and Aaron have led them away from a life which was unfair though one which was mundane and familiar. And they have led them – not to the promised land – not yet anyway, but to the desert.
The wilderness. The desert. The place where there is emptiness. (more…)

Argh!
Latest update.
I seem to be living in a parallel universe. I have been captured by plumbing aliens and have been taken to planet plumber. Either that or I am the living embodiment of a plumber’s online adventure game.
The latest is that there is a crack in the hot water tank between the heating coil and the tank containing domestic hot water. Thus the tank needs to be changed. No useable hot water until this is done next week.
This means showers instead of baths. (When will I get to think?). Boiling washing up water. No use of the washing machine. Fortunately I still have the dishwasher, which comes off the cold water supply and also the heating, so the house is not cold.
However it appears that most of next week will be spent waiting for plumbers as well.

Easy solution. Do what I do – take your washing to your mother!
Sorted!!!!!!!!!

How I am supposed to be a mystic visionary with all this going on?
*politely puts hand up*
Um, aren’t mystic visionaries supposed to go without certain creature comforts in order to have such visions???? This will surely help, no?
Alternatively, you could give up hot water for Lent.

Well, I don’t find it particularly difficult to imagine St Anthony making his way to the desert wadi looking for clear water, finding only muddy guck and crying: “How I am supposed to be a mystic visionary with all this going on?”
I spent most of today beguiling people. Fascinating to watch people themselves watching what was going on. Quite a few desparate to join in but worried about being seen. Lots got over their hesitation though and walked.At the end of the day, quite a few of the therapists and practitioners from the stalls at the Mind,…
Today is the Labyrinth day. Actually, it is the Mind, Body, Spirit Fayre at the University of Stirling and the Labyrinth is the University Chaplains contribution to it. I'm very pleased to have found a way of joining in which does not consist of three chaplains wearing dog collars sitting behind a desk looking intimidating.The…
Today is Advent Sunday and there are Hot Cross Buns for sale in my local supermarket.
Have spent a little time this week looking for on-line collaboration tools to use with the various committees that I am on. It is hard to find good cheap (ie free) tools. It is even harder persuading everyone on a group to change to on-line working. However, this way of doing things is here to…
