and the link on my blog page to Death is not Dying for another testimony of someone's journey.

Thank God for people who know how to share their part of the journey, who face reality and interpret it for us, who share with much love.

Smart !!

Some problems are so complex that you have to be highly intelligent and well informed just to be undecided about them.” –Laurence J. Peter

This quote caught my eye from a post about the Wicked Which's of the West forum to be held in Hamilton, Western Victoria, Australia 18, 19 March - check out their website:

Love the play on words, by the way.

Living in Europe, in France, as a Christian in ministry, in a small country town where the people would like to stay out of it and just let the rest of the world get on with its crazy stupidity, I measure the truth of the above quote.

Being an accompanier, mother, wife, counsellor, pastor, missionary, and generally ordinary person, I measure the complexity of the world in which we live and in which we are asking our children to fit and to prepare to shape.

Being involved in the Vitality Pathway proposed to our Union of Churches means I'm part of a (great) team of people using their wonderful intelligence and knowledge to help the Holy Spirit bring back life in our churches.

So I take the above quote very personnally and feel flattered .... (tongue-in-cheek ;) )
