Stepping aside

John Robinson wrote in Honest to God on prayer, that some people are Kronos and some kairos – I guess I must be kairos because more often than not recently I have been forced to my knees in desperation. Salvation has come though in the shape of the chaplaincy at the university. joining their evening worship and reflection sessions has been the best thing I have done this year. Not feeling at home in the college – well who would – every word is analysed for heresy from the fundamentalists and every un-orthodox thing is frowned at from the candle-huggers.

This from a college which is supposed to be open and inclusive! Life continues!

  • Clean Shaved

    There comes a time in a man’s life when he questions the future of his hair’s existence, (i.e. he is starting to thin) Of course his wife, not having the same problem is overjoyed by the idea of transformation from long haired hippy to bald coot. So started the idea of removing it and getting sponsored to do so. There is no point getting it cut without doing it for money, because really I like it long! The sponsor money will go to Comic Relief and a local Methodist trust, Amelia Farm for whom I have been working as a volunteer for the last 8 months. Bearing in mind I haven’t cut my hair for about 6 years, it should be rather a comic result, either that or I will (like Samson) lose the will to live. Anyway I’m removing it, the hairdresser is booked and I shall be one head of hair lighter by 2.30pm on Friday 16th. If you wish to donate, email me!!
