They'll also say things about J coming back, like c'mon, 2,000 years and no show... but hey: the good news is, 50 years from now, it's <i>extremely</i> unlikely that I'll still be here so ... if he's inclined to let me shout out, I should be able to give you the inside track on one place or t'other...<br /><br />Worship: it's not about singing sycophantic songs to a messiah in the sky on Sundays, it's about how we live here and now every day: as good old George Herbert said, "Seven whole days, not one in seven." <br /><br />Always bugs me in our church when the Reader gets up after the notices (we have them at the start of the service) and says, "We begin our worship with hymn [insert number]..." — I want to stand up and shout, "No! Let's <i>continue</i> our worship..." <br /><br />There is hope: big pockets of hope. It's called <a href="http://christianbookshopsblog.org.uk/tag/living-oasis/" rel="nofollow">Living Oasis</a>.
