I made a comeback at church today. I cant do Easter Friday or Saturday its way too violent and I used to have too many nightmares.
I went back to St Ninians and it was a nice service conducted by an older lady Norma Brown who used some Indigenous stories aimed at the kids about the how a Caterpillar and moth take flight, to explain the Resurrection.
Theresa was there in the congregation and she looked really well and I'm so proud of her fronting up in the congregation. She will be ordained in the Anglican Church as a priest on the 26th of April. This makes me very happy as I have been praying for priesthood for her since the day I first saw her. She will do prison chaplain work and be the spare priest for the Goulburn District so I can see Ill be taking a few trips there to hear her preach in the future.
I hardly ever feel lonley but for some reason I do tonight. Things have been hitting me hard lately with the issue of mortality. What is my future going to be like as I get older? These questions were on my mind last Thursday walking home from work when I looked at the earth as I was waking through a short cut. I just kept looking at it because I felt so much love for it. Theres so much concrete or paving here its not easy to find exposed dirt. The old ashes to ashes dust to dust thingy is on my mind.

Funny - I am the same way about Easter Friday & Saturday. I find it a real struggle to attend church on these days. Sunday is a joy. I am happy to hear that your paster is to become a priest. Have you been to see her again?\
