• Who we are

  26/10/2012

  Right, here is a little verbatim to get you thinking.

  The scene is a concert given by a famous jazz musician a few weeks ago in an American cathedral. I’ve been nudged to the front to sit with the bigwigs. As we sit waiting for the music, I hear this conversation going on somewhere behind me.

  Person 1: Wow, isn’t this space amazing. I never knew it was so beautiful.

  Person 2: I know, I’ve never been in here before either.

  Person 1: What is it anyway? What kind of church?

  Person 2: It is the Episcopals

  Person 1: Well, it is really special, the building and all. Which ones are the Episcopals again? Are they the ones that have divorce?

  Person 2: Yes, they do. And women priests. They’ve got one here!

  Person 1: Really? Wow! All this, and divorce and women priests. Maybe I should give them a try…

  Now, how does that exchange make you feel? Does it lift the soul or not?  Can you flesh out your feelings with some further thoughts?

When the time comes to renew my hosting, I will have to think long and hard about whom I should be using. The trouble with Valuehost is that they are cheap.…

• Fresh bread

  20/08/2004

  Following my lamentation at Lammastide (1 August) that I did not have any fresh bread in the house, I have borrowed a breadmaker from someone who is in a household where the Atkins diet holds sway.Thus, I awoke this morning to the smell of fresh bread wafting through part of the house. This loaf, the…

• Lochearnhead & Strathyre

  19/08/2004

  The pictures o­n the television of people being airlifted from their cars o­n the road north of Strathyre are dramatic. I came down that road earlier in the week in the most frightening thunderstorm. Stair-rods from heaven and thunder to shake the mountains.
