It really is good to be back. I use mailwasher for my spam (mainly because it is free) and after just a week away I needed to use it to delete 350 trash emails for me. Most of them were asking me if I would like to buy viagra or increase the size of bits of my anatomy. I want whoever signed me up to so many lists to now own up ‘cos it just ain’t funny. As a sign of true repentance can you buy me a decent spam killer though!

That 350 mails really set my day off. I guess it meant I started on the back foot a bit. I find it incredible that people wish to send out so much junk. It’s not been until this evening that I have started to reflect on my day and think ‘where has God been in all this’?

I could be twee and say I remembered that if you look hard enough in the rubbish you will see the gem hidden beneath all the crap! I am not so sure though if that is always the case.

I guess it could be an ok description of how much junk we have to plough through to find the stuff that really matters. Or maybe more an illustration of how others so desperately want our attention that they are willing to send out millions of mail in the hope that just a few will invoke a response – strikes me to be a bit like church leafleting for the Christmas services, or maybe us that blog our rambling thoughts.
