Camp

Its been a long time since I’ve had a wee moment to blog. I’ve been AWAY!!! The first week of awayness was a youth camp with Tim (and Kate and Anna and Andy and Tim and Dave). We were in North Yorkshire, and it was hilarious. For a start it was really good fun to be doing youth work again. Working with adults for the last few months has left its mark: I kept using really long words, and I just wanted to have a really intelligent conversation! Was great to work with Tim again.. we had some very classic moments.. ask about the one where I told the kids to get out if they couldn’t be arsed.. the one where we did a multiple choice magazine quiz styley meeting… the one where we put mud and spit on some kids eyes!

All in all a fun week…

I loved getting the chance to do a bit of speaking and story telling.. was telling some stories from the life of David.. surprisingly the kids all LOVED it.. also had a bit of a rant about compassion… has brought home to me how much I love communicating something of God.. love love love..

A Week Today

A week today, when all the furore has ebbed and the markets have bottomed out, our nation will awake to the sounds of bugles and church bells as we commemorate 100 years from the start of the Battle of The Somme.  I am an historian by background, and the Somme for me is emblematic of a human tragedy that need never have happened. My reading of it is this: we began a war from a variety of odd alliances and murky motivations, capped off finally by a sense that no-one had the will to stop it.  In order to give the war effort impetus, posters, propaganda began to be bandied around about the enemy, about what they would do to children and how they needed to be stopped. It worked as a recruiting effort- young men, boys, and women all joined the war effort. They joined as an act of patriotism, tinged yes with fear, but also a sense that it might be the right thing to do. They joined from across the country- but at the heart of the front line forces were thousands and ten of thousands...

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.
