Testosterone Towers stays home - Day 42

The funeral went as well as it could today.
It was Chris's first public ministry since he was ill, so a little more tense than usual first-thing.
An early swim, coffee, and some emergency prayers seemed to do the trick.

Harlow Salvation Army is very good at coming together;
everyone doing their bit to contribute to the whole,
and today saw Harlow SA at its best.
It was very sad, as you'd expect; 
but the best possible tribute to her life in these strange times.

Our usual post-funeral routine was unavailable to us today.
Back in 1993, when we did our first funeral, Jurassic Park had just been released;
so off we went to Bury cinema for a complete change of gear after the emotion of the funeral.
It's a practice we have continued as much as possible;
doing something we enjoy, that's in complete contrast to what's gone before.

Today we had the excitement of a trip to the shops to buy a new dog lead.
And cake.
And now we're watching Miranda.

The boys have just gone to Tesco.
Ryan has finished a long Zoom meeting.
I don't envy them the task of deciding final grades for students.
Joel is at work, and Nathan is generally making a nuisance of himself.
Such silliness
I hate that in a person.
He's making dinner tonight so we'll let him off.
Probably.

We've survived six weeks in lockdown.
Here's the photographic evidence from Friday night, in case you needed proof.












Hope you've had a good one.
Lots of love xx

20 years of ministry

I hadn't realised it myself. I'm not very good with dates, and years, and anniversaries. But yesterday my Facebook Timeline was full of it. It's 20 years since we were commissioned and ordained. 28th May 1993 at The Royal Albert Hall, London. As I listened to 'Our Songs' The ones written for us, and for the occasion I became a bit nostalgic. As I looked at the video And saw my friends and colleagues I almost felt a pang of grief For the people we were The things we shared. But this is a letter to the 25 yr old girl I was then From the woman I am now "You made it! By the skin of your teeth at times but you got there in the end. And this ending Full of brass, and drums, and singing and laughter and drama and dance is just the beginning. In the years ahead you will know joy Real joy Laughing so hard no sound comes out. Friendships that are only in their infancy here Will become your anchor in the days ahead. And people that ...

Five Minute Friday: Song

Image
It's our Silver Wedding Anniversary on Tuesday. 25 years. I told someone the other day and she gasped, and said, "You don't look old enough" Which is absolutely the right response. We're having a few friends over next Friday night to celebrate. There will be food And dancing And fun And song. 'Our song' to be precise. As we met in the 80's, Our song is 'Solid' (Ashford and Simpson). It's the song we used to dance to at parties. It's the song that made us laugh. It's the song we always talk about when reminiscing. Our 25 years together hasn't been perfect You won't be surprised to hear that. There has been much joyful song. But sometimes the notes have turned dischordant. Sometimes we've sung in a minor key. More recently we have sung songs of lament. But to mis-quote Gloria Gaynor We have survived. We're still standing (Elton John) And we're still singing from the same hymn ...

STOP! Look and listen.

I helped at Nathan's Christmas Fair yesterday. It was packed with excited children and exhausted parents, so pretty much business as usual. Do you ever want to scream STOP at this time of year? Enough. Too much already. Mum, my sister and I sorted out Dad's things on Tuesday. As we filled the car with bags for the charity shop it felt so final. A person's life contained in a car-load. STOP. Enough. Too much already. Today has been a better day. The sun has shone. The sky turned a brilliant blue after the snow showers. And I had a lovely coffee with Chris at the Garden Centre. As we were driving back I remembered the Advent challenge I gave our congregation a few years back. It came from the carol, 'It came upon the midnight clear', And the challenge was to 'Hush the noise, ye men (and women) of strife And hear the angels sing.' Or, STOP. Look for the reality of His presence in the madness of Christmas. Listen for Him. His ange...
