Actually it’s a month of moving. Yesterday, some progress on putting paper in the shredder bags. Today I hope to get my four items somewhere accessible, then ask Kirklees to pick them up.
Here’s next Sunday’s lectionary readings…

Passing on the Good News;-
There’s elements of this that may surprise you…
It may not be the person you expect who spreads the news – Isaiah claimed to have ‘unclean lips’ – as many of us do to a greater or lesser degree – and Paul asserts “Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim…” – he doesn’t seem too bothered who does it, so long as the message gets through.
Another surprising element is it might go better than we expect, even after a long night of failure – don’t rule it out. In secular life, there comes a time when most people give up (not sure that is quite yet, HTAFC). But in God’s work, although there might be a time to give up on specific activities and do things differently – do not to give up the hope.
And what is the good news anyway? We’ve had two sides of it in the last few weeks – from Luke 4:18, and from what Paul writes today … 1 Corinthians 15:3,4. These two emphases have grown into very different kinds of Christianity. Is that a gap we can straddle?
