Belated blogtalkers


The blogtalkers question for this week wasn't really a discussion starter for me,
Tell me about your most unusual laundromat experience. Have you ever, or would you ever leave your laundry unattended at a laundromat? What would you do if it wasn’t there when you came back?
I've never used a laundromat... It's somewhat out of my experience, and though I could conceptualise with regards to the mights and perhaps, I am lacking in motivation, sorry folks...

It's cos I'm in Church fete season, so off to stuff my offspring with ice-cream and look vicarly, whatever that means.

Perhaps tomorrow's question will inspire me to write at great length...

Las Vegas, just off the strip near downtown, 7 p.m. on a hot August night: I walk into a deserted laundromat. It looks pretty clean. I choose a machine and start loading my clothes in. The door opens. A man comes enters. He is staggering a bit, definitely scruffy-looking, and smells none too pleasant from clear across the room. I hesitate, wondering if I still want to stay. He puts clothes in the last machine, furthest from the door. He adds soap. He pulls his shirt from over his head and tosses it into the machine. He sits on a chair, removes his shoes and socks, and tosses the socks into the machine. HE stands and begins to unbuckle his belt ... I pulled my clothes from the washer and left.

But suppose you left your clothes at a laundromat unattended and when you came back somebody had washed them for you. Do we have a good samaritan or is somebody waiting to be paid?

I used a laundromat once. Man was it boring. Not that washing clothes is exciting anyway, but it seems to take on whole new levels of "I'd rather be doing something else" when you're at a laundromat.

Trying to connect the dots, unnecessarily

Another sermon - as seems to be the way of this blog at present! Life is busy and complicated, and good, and bad, and exciting, and challenging, and (in short) not conducive to getting Blog posts written! So, here's my thought for today taken from these passages (Click for details): Exodus 16:1–5, 9–15,  Psalm 78;18–29 Mt 13.1–9 Grace and Meaning In the words of St Paul, or perhaps St John, or maybe St George, or even St Ringo “When I was younger, so much younger than today.” Ah, sorry, couldn’t resist!  No, it’s not a tubby boy story – but just a general reflection that today’s story from the book of Exodus used to cause me great consternation.  Or at least was one of those parts of Scripture that didn’t seem to fit… I knew the story, the mythological story I am now convinced, of the temptations in the wilderness when Jesus proclaims, quoting Deuteronomy 6 ‘you shall not put the Lord your God to the test’. As I moved into the Anglican Church and ...

A Sermon which upset someone

So, I'm not a theological conservative.  That probably comes across in pretty much everything I write, but I thought I should say it.  I believe myself to be orthodox, however, and hold to those things which the Church expresses in the catholic creeds.  I also have a relatively 'high' theology regarding the inspiration of Scripture. But I am not a Biblical literalist, nor do I hold to a doctrine of the infallibility of Scripture. I can't.  The Bible is too rich, too deep, too difficult, too flawed for that.  And by flawed I mean I understand it to be the record of human beings trying to make sense of God at work.  It has the breath of the Spirit blowing through it's words and on every page, but when we try and make sense of God there is a chance we will go awry.... 'Hey lets condemn (and or murder) pretty much everyone who isn't in our tribe, that's obviously what God wants' kind of awry.  And if we study this book carefully then we see that ideas ...
