My Spiritual moment so far today came in the shower! I was listening to the radio, and heard this quote "Faith is not so much a crutch, but rather it tells us who we are and where we are". WOW I thought.
That is what I am about - that is what my Sabbatatical is all about - subtitled as it is "becoming who I am". That is certainly my experience - in my bleakest moments, I have found it difficult to find God, let alone use him as a crutch - but when I did find him again, it was in those who were closest to me, my family and my friends, who got me going again, and showed me who I was, where I am, and where I am going.
Yesterday was another good day - new locomotives bought for my model railway, the nearest miss in a car that I have ever had (I wasn't driving, but my friend's wife, who suddenly realised she knew the driver of the car we almost crashed headlong into, and glares on both sides so quickly changed into laughter, and chit-chat - if only real life was like that), a lovely breakfast in Tintern Abbey, and later in the day a 177 mile journey to Chorley, Lancashire, to pick up my friend who is coming to Northern Ireland with me.
Almost ready to set out now for the ferry - a journey of 204 miles, taking about 4 hours according to my SatNav. Expected to arrive in Northern Ireland at 6.30pm.
Blessings to you all!
