I really don't know why i was doing one of those fun online quizzes about finding the perfect dog for my personality. I don't want a dog. But what was very interesting is that in answering each question I realised that my answers match the very dog cuddled up to me right now.
I get the sense that lots of us struggle to realise that what we already have is enough. I was not happy with myself for the binge chocolate session I had before the church meeting that left me feeling a bit sick. But I felt even more sick when after the meeting I watched a programme on waste and discovered just how much food farmers and supermarkets throw out. And I can't get my head round the startling fact that in this nation we throw into the bin 10,000 items of clothing every 10 minutes. Given the plethora of bags that come through my letterbox, I simply can't understand what excuse folk have for putting clothes into a dustbin instead of giving them to charity.
Is this why I can't sleep or is it the excess sugar?
....
Ooooh, this interests me - might have to investigate further:
'Are you an ‘enthusiastic person’ in the true meaning of that word – en theos – someone inspired by and excited by God, and able to see God in all things and all people?'
A great quote from Bishop Stephen Cottrell at the memorial service for Martin Cavender.
