The last few days have seen me in assignment mode good and proper as it seems I have been on a bit of a role by writing 2 in 2 days. I’m now in the happy position of only have 2 left to do for the middle of June …. but I’ve just realised that’s still one every 2 weeks … ah well!

I do feel a sense of achievement, however, and the worry of a large number of things disappearing has been quite a refreshing experience.

It’s clearly not a coincidence that this time of manic work was preceded by a time of retreat. I came back from retreat pleased that the time went well and that people were supported. I did not, however, come back feeling particularly refreshed as I was not on retreat as such as our role was to be there to led the retreat.

But … it seems God did refresh me in ways I do not understand or even notice. All I know is that I have been struggling for weeks to get my head around an essay on the theology of other religions, and after a time of retreat it flowed in less than 24 hours.

Amazing what God can do when you aint looking!
