Go to...

Having sat lightly on this blog stuff over the years and not letting it rule me, I have decided not to stop, but to move across to Wordpress. In recent times I have heard a good deal on it and like the way I can potentially add pages etc. So have shifted this blog over and will go from there. I also have some study leave coming up and it will allow for some processing on different page.
So Beyond Flatland is now here.

The Caim - a story


The Caim is a midweek reflective service. We follow simple liturgies and read one of the daily readings, we pray together. This year we have met around the Communion Table each Week.
In the prayer time thanksgiving was offereed for the dustmen. A story explained this. One of our folks had a pile of logs arrived and the rain was starting. Going as fast as he could ti get it in under cover a dustman tunred up on his way past. these guys are super fit and run behin the truck tossing recycling etc into the truck. Anyway, the guy stops and offers a helping hand. Then another arrives and the two stash away the wood in no time. Meanwhile our friend is left giving thanks for the help. They ran on their way wishing him a good day! A wonderful simple, thankful story. I thought it worth sharing. Sometimes God surprises us and provides in our need. Incidentally, that was something of the gist of the text we read.
