What's On My Mind?

Its Saturday: I am in bed. My lovely housemate, in deference to my need for introvert time, brought me some food..

And so fueled up I can tell you about what I'm thinking.

I am pondering how I lead. I am pondering how I keep hold of the eternal truth that God loves me, when the people of God don't appear to. I am pondering what it might look like to get some break through in people understanding boundaries. I have been reading about Paul and his relationship with the errant church in Corinth. None of this is hugely related to each other; but I am struck by my need to keep hold of what God has said and is saying in the midst of it all.

If you are a praying type then all appreciated in that.

I'm thinking about how we fix the pensions and benefits crisis. No solutions yet but I'm only on my first cup of coffee so its just a matter of time.

I'm thinking about how I can get to see some Rory tonight. I'm wondering if its inappropriate that I am fascinated by the wee prodigy.

I'm also thinking about X-Men Origins and when I get to see that and/ or Harry Potter.

And finally: today is a study day. So I should do some of that.

Thanks for sharing. You and I sound similar, especially with our passion for the creative and the introversion. haha. I'm glad to see that others aren't afraid of publicly declaring their faith and the doubts they have of. In my opinion one must seek to grow through Jesus. Again, thanks for sharing and I look forward to growing with you.

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

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.

A Broadside: *plot spoiler* for Tory sympathisers

Today some alarming social equality data was released. It said what we all know: if you are poor, you have less opportunities in life. For every £100 a month less income than the median you start school one month behind developmentally. Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
