Where do people get the time?

I'm sitting here thinking....this is a picture of me on the left, sat in the garden at a temperature of -2 centigrade (the blurring isn't a badly copied image...its frost on the lens).

Where do people get the time? To blog of course. I'm just copying some stuff for 'Messy Church' tommorrow & catching up on the blogosphere & being shocked by the number of my watched blogs who have blogged today. Haven't these people got a life? What kind of saddo blogs on a Saturday at 8.30 at night just to get another consecutive entry on his vain kingdom of the ego? Answer me? What kind? Erm...I think that would be me.....

Always readable and relevant, the entry which caught my eye the most was the ever insightful

''Soul Destroying

A story is told of a Himalayan mountaineering expedition, where the Western climbers wanted to make quick progress. For three days they walked quickly, though the sherpas seemed reluctant. On day 4 the sherpas sat down and couldn't be moved. One climber asked the sherpa translator what was happening, and he replied: "after walking so fast for 3 days, they are now waiting for their souls to catch up with their bodies."

Maybe this recession, painful though it is for impatient Westerners, is the same thing happening on a national level. We have been rushing ahead of capacity - of our personal capacity, and that of the economy and the planet. It's time to stop and let everything catch up. Maybe as we stop
we'll get the time to think, reflect, and adjust''.

I have to go....house is a tip and the kitchen needs clearing. It's a pulsating life of vibrancy here....

actually we just have a small army of elves, like Santa. And use scheduling, so we can impress people with stuff posted at 5.30am when it was actually written 2 weeks ago.

Thanks for the link, how is Messy Church going? We're thinking about doing it here in Yeovil.
