I am mildly excited today - because tomorrow I am going out with the Churches' Walking Club for the first time since last August.  The route is partly new-to-me and partly stuff I've walked before, and with several 'opt out' points along the way will be fine if I discover I'm not as fit as I hope I am.

I will miss seeing my ABC exercise class friends, but I am really looking forward to striding out in the fresh air, with my sun hat, my factor 50 sun screen and my mozzy repellant.  Of course it might rain all day...

This post from Glen Marshall neatly links last weeks service on 'At Liberty Under Christ' with this week's 'Celebration of Pentecost' and my sense of the centrality of 'mission in many modes' to 'being church'. 

I so love it when I manage to keep somewhere near the dance of the Spirit!

Or spending time exhaling into an inflatable globe.

Ready for Sunday, I inflated my well-travelled inflatable gobe... so you see I did blow up the world.

Well it amused me.  I know, small minds, blah, blah, blah.

A friend just sent me this poem: 'I am the Vicar, I am'.

Enjoy!

Today I fell prey to spammers in a new way - it seems they are able to get email addresses really easily and then send out gazillions of emails that purport to be from you, then you get gazillions of non-delivery notices because lots of email addresses get closed all the time.  My ISP being fairly vigilant then blocked me!  So I had to phone them to get re-instated.

One of the easiest ways spammers get email addresses is people who forward junk mail without deleting the previous addresses and/or who have enormous distribution lists.  Since I always delete the former and use bcc for long distribution lists, I can only assume that my email address was picked up from someone else who is less pedantic.

No finger pointing, no names, no pack drill... just if you are forwarding emails or sending out things with long distribution lists please be careful about what the whole world can see.

Thank you Madasafish for sorting my problem quickly and cheerfully!
