More of the same . . .

The last few days have been remarkable in that they have been unremarkable! It set me thinking again about our life's journey with God. There are highs and lows, and times when we are more aware of his guidance and holy presence, and there are times when we just seem to get on with whatever comes along with little or no conscious reference to God at all. Since leaving Shardlow on Tuesday morning I have spent the afternoon and night first at Willington and then at Alrewas, and I have met a variety of folk along the way. I spent a bit of time helping folk lock up at Alrewas, just as I did previously at Foxton, but it has all been much of the same.

Today will be different because I am planning to get somewhere near to Great Haywood (Shugborough Hall) so that Gwyneth can collect me when she finishes school. Tomorrow the parishes are celebrating a special wedding of two of our members and, sabbatical or no sabbatical, I am booked to officiate at the service.
