We had getting on for 30 people in church for our harvest festival; many thanks to all who made this possible! The very dry weather is making this a difficult time for farmers; we hold them all in our prayers and give thanks for the work they do to feed us.The picture shows our font decorated with locally-grown grapes.
I recently received an email from a clerical colleague. It was an invitation to a meeting. Immediately there came another email from the same colleague, trying to correct the date for the meeting. Unfortunately that date was still wrong. I took some delight in replying to point this out, until I recalled that earlier in the week I had sent an email around all members of a PCC (including my colleague) with the wrong time for a meeting that evening... At times like this, the words of a classic song come to my mind:Oh Lord, it's hard to be humbleWhen you're perfect in every wayI can't wait to look in the mirrorCause I get better lookin' each dayTo know me is to love meI must be a hell of a manOh Lord, it's hard to be humbleBut I'm doin' the best that I canI must go now to admire myself in the mirror.
