Methtastic

In just under 2 months time I will be in circuit. It’s becoming very exciting and very scary at the same time. In fact it struck me earlier today that it’s a bit like the feelings I had when I moved from my little village junior school to the local comprehensive. I’ve got a mixture of apprehension and excitement.

And just like going to a new school there’s been all the uniform stuff to buy - clerical shirts, cassock, stoles etc. In fact I’m wondering whether I need to go and buy a new pair of rugby boots and a geometry set - or maybe I’m just getting stressed!

I met Lamplighter for lunch today and as always she was so supportive. I am so grateful to God for the friendships I have made with people like Lamplighter and others throughout my training. They have helped me so much. At times I feel guilty that it’s all one way traffic. So I was pleased on the weekend to receive a card from my friend John in which he thanks me for my friendship and says “you’ve helped me in more ways than you’ll ever know”. And all I did was listen to John’s wonderful (and often obscene!) jokes and share a bottle of red wine from time to time.
