Back in the room

A couple of days ago I started a post called; "ever felt like God wandered off?". It was about the absence of God just when you feel like you need him most. And I meant it. I think I'm just glad I didn't publish it. Why? Well mainly because in just one day my perspective has changed.

God's been talking quite a bit about waiting for good things to happen- just about everyone I know has been saying He's got such good things. But I just feel like sometimes we have to wait till the very end. Its like that passage where Saul is told to wait for Samuel to pitch up to make the sacrifice. He doesn't do it.. he thinks Samuel has let him down and does it himself. Then right on time Samuel pitches up and tells him off..

And so, right on time (just after you think you need him most), God pitches up.. with good things!

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.
