Splash

Everyone seems to have enjoyed their BIG Splash yesterday.  Connor was floating on his back doing impressions of an egg beater with those spindly legs thrashing and splashing.  He was able to walk whilst in the water, something that causes him extreme difficulty whilst out of water.  Interesting how different environments allow special things to happen - that's why WONDERFUL things happen during worship.  Have a great week everybody.

I'm taking part in a thing called 'the river of stones'  ariverofsmallstones  during July   -the link takes you to my stones page,  there's a further link there to the main 'river of stones' site.  It's an exercise in thinking deeply about one thing every day and writing a very short piece about it*. I make it doubly difficult (and it is difficult to do it EVERY day anyway) by linking it to a photo. The exercise is set up by a Buddist monk and his wife - so a Christian presence is quite important.

*This is how we begin. We notice one thing properly. We write it down.

It doesn't matter how long it is, or how clever it is, or whether you've spelt it right. It matters that you pause for a moment. It matters that you really hear the whirr of your lap-top, or the squeaky wheel as the cyclists passes you. It matters that you smell those tomatoes-on-the-vine and notice their earthy sweetness. It matters that you take a minute to skim your fingertips over smooth silk.
