HAVE I REACHED THAT AGE

In the last couple of years I have attended three family funerals and bumped in to cousins that I hadn't seen for years before. And I am left with a question. Is that what will happen from now on?

That these people that I had shared part of my childhood with, I will now only see at times like that. Well. I am resolved that this won't be the way for me. We need to get a family get together....soon.

Also this week, had an interesting conversation with fellow ministers about the situation in the Church of Scotland.....I think it will grumble along like indigestion!!

JUST WHEN DOES IT GET BETTER

Here's the thing. I am sitting listening listening to the BBC news and all the talk about the reshuffle.

Is this just the death throws of a government? Is there anyway back? Is it time for a change? Who knows, the media will probably decide.

The thing is, I feel that there is something bigger needing change. A fundamental shift needs to take place where we really sort things out. Like, reading the paper the other day a doctor will lose £375 because.....she has had no complaints!!!!! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/5405902/GP-penalised-for-lack-of-complaints.html
