Of course, I didn't help myself by staying up late last night, then waking at an unreasonable hour, unable to get back to sleep, mostly because I was nervous! I was preaching somewhere different. The priest of the parish is an now a friend of many years standing, though we first met via youth work when he was one of the younger leaders in something I was responsible for running.

His church has two services in the morning, a more traditional formal one, and a more informal one afterwards. I stayed on for the second service - it was definitely what I needed! For lots of reasons.

Tomorrow, or rather later today, now I see the time, has got to be an accounts day... woe. I'd rather be doing lots of other things.

And now, I need to sleep! Goodnight.
