A busy day in the office today dealing with a considerable
amount of paperwork which has built up over the last six days or so. Sara and I both had doctors’ appointments in
the Winterslow Surgery this morning and so went in together – Sara for her
breathing problems and me for my knee.
Sara needs to have another chest x-ray and the results of my knee x-ray
indicate that my right knee has basically worn out! In other words I have osteo-arthritis. There is little they can do at the moment as
it is moderate and not severe except take ibuprofen and exercise it. The doctor is referring me to physiotherapy
at Salisbury District Hospital. I shall,
continue to exercise by walking and cycling whenever possible and take
pain-killers. The pain seems less now
but it could be that I am simply getting used to it! I delivered the Bible Reading Fellowship resources to
those who receive them this afternoon and tonight I presided over our house
group. We had a full house tonight and
there was a warmth, grace and humour which showed Christian fellowship at its
best. We completed the study of C.S.
Lewis’s Narnia books with a
reflection on some of the issues facing Christians from sceptics – including our
own voices of scepticism. However I had
the post-Spring Harvest blues descend upon me yesterday and today, wondering where my ministry was going to take me, but tonight’s
house group really did perk me up. I
also realise that the power of prayer is really important particularly as I
consider my future principal ministry - be it in the Team or elsewhere.
