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.

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…
