Reflection 1: Therefore.. since we are surrounded..

WARNING ER SPOILER

So, I was just watching ER and there was this old heroic doctor who had faded and was about to die: and as he lay in Trauma 1 there was this crowd of doctors and nurses and friends surrounding him.

And the thing running round my head was this:

Hebrews 12:1
[ God Disciplines His Sons ] Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.


I want to do just that: I want to know at the end of my days, pre-resurrection days that is, that I could be surrounded by a bunch of good people, knowing that I ran the race with perseverance.

(Brain not totally with it today: may express this better at some other time).

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.

Who will rid me of this meddlesome...

... piano? It occurred to me yesterday as i nursed ANOTHER bruise on my arm.. that I have had a piano sat in my hallway for 2 months! It seemed like such a good idea at the time but apparently is not... its stuck there and everytime I walk down my hall I have to squeeze past the darn thing- often not successfully! A number of options lie before me: -chop the thing into several hundred pieces -find lots of people who want to move it.. to where I'm not sure -sell it -give it away -pray it away It goes next weekend.. even if it kills me... which it might.. hummm
