Endings..

The next two weeks are going to be interesting ones. Its the beginning of the end of my time in Luton. This week I finish school. In theory thats the end of my teaching career: I'm finding myself wondering about what to say as my parting shots to my students. I'm thinking along 'wear sunscreen' lines!

At the end of this week (after Potter), the new evening community at church really spins into action. I have, I think, three emails to send before my job there is done (unless the community ask me to do anything else).

Then its just a final preach. On the uniqueness of Jesus. Thats on 29th July: 7pm at St Marys if you wanna come play.

Theres so much I could say about whats happening at the moment but it all feels a bit too overwhelming for blog. But it will be exciting!! Woo haa.

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.
