It's been a little while since I last managed to get something posted - it has been the usual rush at this time of year as holiday season approaches there are extra services to arrange and work out what to do. Among this the usual everyday stuff of a parish church continues, that mixture of tears of joy and sorrow. Joy as we celebrate prize giving with our young people and sorrow as we face the death of much loved friends or deal with families facing times of loss. It seems like only a few moments have past since we were trying to get Christmas services sorted and we are already half way through the year. I find myself continually faced with the question what have I done to make a difference in the lives of others and in the Kingdom of God. Yes, routine can bring its own rewards but it can also distract us from the bigger vision that God wants us all to have about who we are and what he wants us to be involved with Him in. So what have I done today to advance the Kingdom - ah, more tears!
