Much to my horror I have briefy become one of those sad bloggers who fail to file any meaningful blog fulfilling content; before re-appearing, lamely citing busyness for the glaring absence.
Even worse, the elapsed time does not lend itself well to individual blog posts as time has now rendered it a jumble of events, people and places. Recognising this as a given, here's a kind of stream of consciousness posting.
I was an event today where a track from Dead can Dance was used in worship. It's not a band I'm familiar with but the track, "Yulunga" was extraordinarily evocative (they're on Spotify if you want to check them out).
Talking of music, The Radcliffe and Maconie Radio duo have just played a track by 'Mumford and sons,' a band I'd only heard of for the first time yesterday when one of the students in the group I tutor had played a track. A happy coincidence as I now think they are fab too! (also on Spotify)
Talking of students, I'm loving spending time with the 'Professional Formation group' I head up for CYM. We had our second meeting this week and in light of the negotiated values, rules and boundaries ...... there had to be cake. Chocolate cake was my mum's signature dish but I had a bash at living up to the family tradition.
Talking of cake, we had some before youth group on Sunday, followed by toast!! Great session on prayer. I really enjoyed sitting around with a bunch of leaders and teenagers as we shared experiences and understandings of prayer, cool .... very cool. Very chilled opener from the curate who used the Lords prayer in a Rabinic series-of-headings stylee reflecting on each section.
Talking of Youth groups, I'm off into deepest darkest Buckinghamshire tonight to run a session. Am currently at the 'what on earth' shall I do stage :-)
Talking of 'what on earth' shall I do? I'd better get on with some work!!!!!
(Talking of work, still no new director BUT one candidate has been invited back for second interview. More news to follow at www.pleasecanihavemynormaljobback.argh)
