Today

Today has been my day off. I have enjoyed peace, quiet, wine and a hammock. But other than that, in a small social experiment, I texted some dear friends for suggestions for what I should do with my day. Here are some of the highlights:

• Learn to iceskate.
• Write a haiku about the gospel.
• Climb the Eiffel tower.
• Streak through church.
• Ban volcanoes.
• Make Dave a cup of tea.
• Build a fort out of chairs, cushions and sheets.
• Go to Trafalgar Square and shout at the lions 'Die, Aslan, die!'
  
• Make papier-mâché - the sender going to a lot of effort to have the correct accents, which deserves praise, I feel.

But the one that stuck with me, and thus, the one I have tried to do is...

Write a haiku about the gospel. Thank you, Scott. So, here goes:

son of God...
son of a carpenter
less deadwood, more God.

That was anti-climactic. I should have done something more thrilling. Thank you all for your efforts, and your willingness to get involved. You brightened my day with every text that arrived. This may not be the last time you will be called upon!
