Itchy neck
My neck has been sooo itchy today. Not under my chin - but further down. Is there something wrong with my collars?

Just came across the phrase ‘kneading hope’ in a book about ministry and thought this was a wonderful illustration of what a minister does. Also works also a pretty cool pun!
Finally the lights are back on in the church. Not all of them, but the ones in the office. For the past few weeks we’ve been relient on uplighters, desk lamps and natural light. I’ve realised that I’m quite sensitive and need well lit areas. I find darkness and gloominess well gloomy. Maybe I just don’t do ‘atmospheric’ lighting - well not certainly not in an office environment. One of the effects of lack of lighting has been to move my desk over to the window. Amazingly sometimes it gets too bright and when the sunlight comes through you can see all the specks of dust over my laptop screen. I have to keep wiping it. I don’t really need to do anything for it to get dirty - it just does. And wiping the screen last week doesn’t really do much now. I need to keep on cleaning it, otherwise the dust’ll build up and then I won’t be able to see anything! Hmm sounds like an illustration for something…
Muse - Uprising (Official Video) - Quite a brilliant song - anything that tries to sound like the Dr Who theme gets a thumbs up from me. Certainly a touch of KLF in there too…
Muse in mime shock! This is actually hilarious - and if don’t know why it’s funny then clearly you’re not a fan of the band!
Good news for boys of all ages!
Think of other people - show compassion.
Put yourself in other people’s shoes and be love.
Give out and love other people.
Listen to other people - but talk at yourself.
Cry, if you must.
Pray because you must.
You are not the centre of the world, and neither are your problems
Humilty
Have been doing some thinking about humility and it reminded me of Philippians 2 - this video and this song.
I am always moved when I hear this song together with this clip.
I’m not entirely sure why - but I’ve noticed that eating an orange tends to improve my mood. I’m not saying that it lifts me up from the depths of despair (mainly because thankfully I’m rarely in that place) - but if I’ve had a bit of a tough couple of hours, eating an orange has just made me feel a bit better. Maybe there’s something about removing and discarding the peel, the sharpness and sweetness of the taste, and then the need to clean sticky fingers. Orange juice alone doesn’t seem to do it, and neither does an apple or kiwi. So here’s to the joys of an orange!
I’ve changed the layout of this site to be mostly green - I hope you like it! (you know who you are!!)
