i took my semi-annual trip into church culture this week, with a meeting in perth. i find it odd that the most christian-cultured space i visit is a national mission and evangelism meeting.

odd also, how churlish and grumpy i become in those spaces. i watch myself, somewhat bemused and bewildered, and really dislike what i turn into there. i know i have to take responsibility for that, but i do also have to say that church doesn’t bring out the best in me at all.

my head is a in weird place at the moment – a lovely one, not bad. i think i’m at one of those cusp moments where the axes my life rotates on are moving. i love moments like this.

but the silence here is not because of that. it’s just because most of my work at the moment doesn’t involve stories that are mine to talk about. thanks for hanging around if you are still here. one day i’ll get back to this.
