This Sunday I am doing a 'guest preach' at a church in Fife.  I need to do a 'children's talk' (sic - need to educate them!) and have no idea how many or what age... so here are the bits I have gathered to take along with me.

What's the difference between the fizzy water and all the other items? I know, it's not scientifically accurate, but CO2 will play a small part in the bringing to life of the other objects!!

I wonder what the person covering for me will do for the 'all together' bit...? 

Yesterday I took delivery of a few copies of this booklet produced to mark a century of ordained and accredited Baptist women's ministry in these islands.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I stand on the shoulders of giants.

It's not false modesty to say that the longer I serve the less assured I become of my competence, and the more convinced I become of my calling. Twenty years ago, when I was preparing to begin training, I could never have imagined the journey I'd be taking, ten years ago I had no idea what crossing a border might really mean, but, as I say periodically, 'here I am, I can do no other'.
