4 minute blog
Well, things have been a bit difficult lately - high stress of a Ph.D is gradually upon me (read us - since Andrew suffers with me); being chronically behind is a niggling, head-pecking thing; more tests at hospital (which the consultant is chuffed by, since I'm a mystery!), and recently the tragedy of Manchester has really hit our church hard - I've thought long and hard about that - and about the reality that our congregation is nitty-gritty, vulnerable, and pain-filled. A blog isn't really the place for descriptions of pain, so I'll leave it at saying that our congregation is in the midst of trying, trying times; and is seeking grace upon grace to respond to every facet of pain we encounter. If you are a praying friend, please pray. The 'why' questions that face humankind are very much upon us.
I am much taken by the first verse of a poem/blessing encountered on Jonny Baker's blog:
on the day when
the weight deadens
on your shoulders
and you stumble,
may the clay dance
to balance you.
