Words from Gene
TGF Gene's blog.
"Diversity is God's gift to us, division is what we make of it"
"There is only one God, but our ability to comprehend that God goes through lots of stages, becoming ever more expansive as God reveals God's self to us, directly and through others"
"The Christian life is seldom neat and tidy, and the business of loving the world that God has made, and every person in it, is messy and difficult. Attempts to clean up the "mess" may be at cross purposes with what God has in mind"
"I have frequently recalled Desmond Tutu's simple and wise description of the Anglican Communion. "We meet," he said. Full stop. That's what we do. We hold a common belief and hope in the Risen Christ, and because we care for one another as brothers and sisters in Christ, we meet. We meet, and let God's Holy Spirit work among us, to allow us to see our common humanity, and to discover the Christ in "the other."
"God IS working God's purposes out, even if we can't always see it"
"It was VERY interesting to me to look at the faces of those at the conference -- many, many of which were somber, sad and tense. In contrast, the faces of lgbt people and our allies, looked joyful, happy, even radiant. I wondered, which vision of the church are people drawn to? That which produces a solemn and morose countenance, or one which produces joy and radiance? Gay and lesbian Christians KNOW what it is like to be rescued from shame and guilt, and to walk in the light of God's redeeming love, and seem to show it in every moment. That's the church I want to be in, don't you?"

Easy life!
TGF being able to chill in the sun with a book. TGF being able to download songs as they pop into your head. TGF chilled afternoons just wanderin and chattin. TGF getting help with buying trousers that fit.
the boys
TGF my boys following me up the stairs and running out to meet me. So sweet. TGF a brilliant birthday treat having fun shooting great friends. TGF those great friends being chilled and not minding my lack of organisation..or at least being willing to play things by ear (weird phrase...nothing was played with any body part).
TGF being able to run...some good PBs this week. TGF all the toys he gives me (via lovely people mostly). TGF being able to make someone happy with a gift.
