What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Off sick

    Have had an extraordinarily quiet time over the last couple of weeks, unable to really enjoy being on holiday as I was still trying to get over a bronchial infection which has gone on for weeks and weeks.

    Back to work for half a day yesterday showed me that I’m still a long way from being fit and certainly not fit to work. The doctor has signed me off today for 2 weeks.

    I can get to local shops, can drive and am not housebound and I’ll shout for anything I need. However it is the quiet life for me for a bit longer.

    My thanks to colleagues for covering all bases whilst I’m under the weather. If you are waiting for responses from me about anything, my apologies, I’ll deal with them when I get back to work. In the mean time, please contact the Cathedral Office about anything that seems urgent.

    I don’t know whether I will be posting much on the blog. (I’ve got one or two articles written but unposted).

    This is what comes of not doing the blessing of the throats for St Blaise’s Day…

    “Christ is born and all shall be well” – sounds very like Jeremiah’s “peace, peace”, but there was not peace.
    Substance is all important, whether it’s in the content of sermons or websites.
    Throughout His life, and especially in His communication with the religious Jesus took great care to communicate substantially lest at the end many should come to Him, saying Lord, Lord and He would then have to say – I don’t know you.
    Crowded churches or busy websites in themselves are nothing, as we all know – so let’s not encourage folks to busy themselves with such digressions.
    But there are ways in which we should be busying ourselves – Jesus had a lot to say about that – including our presence for worship and even the content of websites!

        Kelvin, your understanding of scripture is amazingly narrow, even literalistic – at times!!

          That may well be so.

          However, I do understand irony.

  • Caption Competition

    It is probably unwise of me to draw your attention to this, but it appears that Fr Madpriest is running a caption competition using Stewart’s pic of me with these two brides. Comments over on his blog for this one please. Off you go. Have fun.

  • Spirituality of the everyday

    Fiona asked me some good questions on my previous post about Morning Prayer. She asked me about how to use the material that I’d provided. Note firstly, by the way that I’ve already updated the pdf file with version 2 as I had made some mistakes in the earlier one. I’d left too many antiphons…
