We could use some rain...

Meanwhile, it's Friday! And I'm having coffee this afternoon with my friend the local hospital chaplain. :)
So did your Thursday go well?

Mostly. I would have liked to have gotten a bit more done, but that's the story of my life.

But parish council was so positive, and so constructive; this parish is an absolute delight to work with!

So glad you got a good group there. Having good people has to make things easier.

Have you given the pot of cement/concrete any water?

It may crack otherwise.

Oh, it's night and day, Michie. I mean, you're never going to get a group who agree on everything or have no challenges; but if they have an openness to change, a desire to be a genuinely effective Christian community, and the willingness to give things a go and work together, after some of my previous experience it feels like winning the lottery!

Well, and on the other side of the coin, clergy aren't always all sweetness and light either... ;)

I tested negative for Covid. Glad to hear.. even with mild symptoms.. I've heard getting Covid is equivalent to having a heart attack.. I don't want that.

Thinking of taking up bird watching. Already subscribe to 'Birds & Blooms' magazine.
I just posted something a few days ago about birds boosting your happiness in the pets and animals forum.
