After church today, a member of the congregation pulled me aside and slipped a carefully shrouded package from under her coat.
‘Here. This is for you. I know it’s not allowed in church anymore but…’
Most curious, I began to unravel the packaging.
A lovely jar of home made bramble jam — forbidden for lack of a food safety certificate.
Nothing like living dangerously.
Clocks fall back tonight in the UK.
More sleep, or more time to procrastinate before going to bed, as you wish.
addendum: bizarrely, this post has been appearing and disappearing all day. Anyone else having trouble with WordPress?
Not fully recovered from yesterday’s illness, I spent the day fishing for Advent resources. And it occurred to me that we might start an Advent blog — poetry, photographs, short reflections either of your own, or by others. If seven people were willing to take part, we would each have to offer only four things.
I thought about approaching seven priests (and bishops).
I thought about approaching seven members of the congregations. And then I thought about asking you.
Are there 6 of you out there, willing to join in? Please respond in comments.
If it works, we could repeat it at Lent. If there are more than six interested, even better.
wonderful exchange
