Lovely semi-sandwich walk today, rain only for half an hour, beautiful. It was dull and so on – but there is a need for much more rain – although personally I don’t complain when my boots come home mud-free. Only a little over a fortnight now until the boiler gets fixed. Hooray! We have a modus vivendi with the faulty boiler, keeping the heating water temperature low, topping up when needed and turning off when it won’t be supervised for a while.
As to Sunday’s Lectionary and Philip and the Ethiopian – I have a kind of romantic imagination about the days when the church could make it up as it went along – if only it could be like that now – although I can see the reasons why it can’t. Also I don’t think Christians exactly made it up as they went along. It had to be what the Spirit of God was leading them into. There were tests.
