It was all going so well… until the Christian dance group arrived.
ouch.

Pentecost

Jesus has left the building.
The ascension was on May 17th this year, that’s the day when Jesus, as it were, leaves the building. It’s the day when, after the resurrection, Jesus ascends to be with God, leaving only a promise that he will send someone to help the disciples out. Then there is this period [...]

apologies my friends, and sundry others.
I’m feeling quite unwell. Worryingly, thinking about it today, I am getting worse and have been for about 3 weeks, although I’m sure its just a virus of some sort. I’m feeling really tired (cannot get out of bed, needing to lie down in the afternoon), slightly dodgy breathing, a [...]

Men beware! A shark in a Nebraskan aquariam gave birth without mating… your days are numbered!
tesco thinking

Talking to David over a drink yesterday afternoon, I realised that a huge amount of my thinking this year has been done on the walk to and from Tesco (now down to 41 minutes each way, if I’m in the mood). I have decided to move back up to Edinburgh over the summer, and I’ve [...]
breaking into the zoo

Those who break into Dundee Zoo, should, I am tempted to think, be left to their fate (and thus possibly to dinner for the wolves) if they are stupid enough to think that a terrapin enclosure is a good place for a beer.
Olympic Success

Alex Salmond is planning to push for a Scottish Olympics team. I’m not sure this is really a good idea, sure curling and cycling are our sorts of things, but I’m not sure that separating from the UK team, and all their support would really improve our sporting chances.
It would also make us lose the [...]
General Assembling…
Posted in theology on May 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
This week is general assembly week for the church-o-scotland, the yearly shindig at which many a delegate loses the will to live, many a debate is long and boring, many a decision is made which has very little impact on anything AND every now and then something quite important happens.
This year, the appointed ‘moderator’ (ie. [...]
Oxford conservatism
Posted in musings, theology on May 18, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Reading this piece in the guardian, about Wycliffe Hall in Oxford being made more conservative scares me. It seems that a conservative direction is being created by bullying of non-compliant staff (that would be, lecturers), forcing them to resign.
Its scary, because this is one of the places which trains vicars, and to think that anyone [...]
Butt Prints in the Sand

Its not all that often I laugh in the library…
One night I had a wondrous dream,
One set of footprints there was seen,
The footprints of my precious Lord,
But mine were not [...]
