St. Patrick's Day

I had a bacon sandwich for breakfast this morning at Cooks at The Forum Gym - breaking yesterday's resolve already (I forgot!).

It may well be the case that, as a result, I will be unable to pay my credit card bills due next 17 March (a week today, on St. Patrick's Day).  I will now be £20 short on the day, assuming I spend my reserve cash of £10 on 2 pints of Guinness to celebrate.

Should I be celebrating St. Patrick's Day?  Although I'm not Irish, St. Patrick was a Saint who kept the Sabbath and Biblical Holy Days.  It may be inappropriate to drink excessively, but I am sure 2 pints will DO NO HARM.

Correction: After some financial juggling, and a commitment to spend no more than £60pw on groceries, coffees, and eating out, I now have a budget of £11 for St. Patrick's Day AFTER paying my credit card dues! 11 is a significant number:  The 11th commandment is to LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR.  

However, before you are in a position to love your neighbour, one has to take care of one's own tribe first!

Yesterday I went to Durham Cathedral for Evensong by St. Catharine's College Cambridge Girls' Choir.  Before I went, I removed all the contents of my under-stairs cupboard ready to sort out.  When I got home, to my surprise, there was a guide to Durham Cathedral in one of the boxes.   Har...

Prayer and Tablets

I pray to God, and He answers by talking back to me through an inner voice.  I draw great comfort from this, knowing for sure than I am not alone. Tonight, I have taken 2 paracetamol tablets on top of my regular medication.  The front part of my forehead hurts, from temple to temple.  It is a dull kind of ache. The final Laodicean Church puts its faith in doctors and medicine above healing from our Creator, God!
