Am off to Haiti tomorrow for the best part of 3 weeks, so things will be quiet here. If you don't know about Haiti - you ought to!

Does Ordinary have to mean dull? Is the extraordinary always an escape from the everyday? What if the mundane is really perpetually infused with wonder? Where did you see God today? What was He saying?
Welcome ... I’ve always been more attracted to the ordinary than the spectacular. For a long time I’ve sensed my ministry in life as continually trying to seek and understand, express and share, an awareness and appreciation of God in the everyday. I think this is important, not only for the sake of my own taste, but for everyone. If our talking about, and living for, God only appeals to the religious, then most people will be missed. If we know anything about Jesus it is that he went out of his way to encompass the ordinary, so that no-one would be overlooked. So, as I write here, I’ve no idea what I will say or where it will lead. No doubt I will reflect a lot on ‘Christian’ things, but I’m not particularly interested in narrowly religious questions, nor about church affairs. There will, probably, be much football, film and TV. An ordinary life indeed, but one looking for ‘rumours of glory’, I’m asking myself the questions I’ve listed above, and invite you to do the same…
