Now, before I go any further, I want to make it clear that I do not believe God favours me over anyone or anything but WOW! I decided to come and watch the second day of the torch relay through Glasgow, and opted to stand at the road junction opposite the end of the road where the Gathering Place is located.  And this is what I was privileged to view:

I am ridiculously pleased - I now have some amazing photos for tomorrow's service!

I watched the flame pass by in University Avenue...

This made me chuckle... 'Greek' maidens singing the Java Jive on the steps of Wellington Church of Scotland

Glad I went to see it... a once in a lifetime opportunity (or twice if you live in Glasgow and get up early tomorrow!).

OK, so I have now baked and decorated 4 dozen cupcakes... this is called ministry a la Martha, in case you were wondering!

The final few photos...

Daisy-chain cupcakes

Forget-me-knot-cupcakes

Box 1 - A garden of delights!

Box 2 - The cream of Glasgow! Triple choc and the ubiquitous blueberry cheese cake

In a rash moment I said I'd bake and decorate cupcakes for next week's community outreach event... then life got silly... but a promise is a promise.  So this evening I baked away and now have two batches complete and two more waiting for decoration...

I have reminding myself of some basic BSL signs ready for Sunday, so that we can use them in our prayers.  Among the signs is 'grace' which (according to the book I have) is a composite of 'holy' and 'good'

I like that.
