Yesterday we had a lay learning session with Kimberly, who showed admirable patience, as befits her calling, with the motley middle-aged retirees who make up the Lay Worship Group.
We were wrestling with Marcus J Borg's 'The God we Never Knew', part 2, and discussing his theology, christology and a whole lot of other ologies - most of which I'd never heard of. And we were showing our ignorance. Not only that, but our difficulties in grasping such concepts as 'a personal God'. Crikey, it's hard to get the brain cells back in gear - but such fun. I got a huge buzz out of the discussion, even though had I been prone to low self-esteem I might have been plunged into despair by the sluggishness of my intellect.
But dear Kimberly said she enjoyed it too - bless her elegant stockings - and now I can't wait for the next bout.
In other news, the rain is good for the garden! Really it is.

Ah well - no thought necessary for this weekend! (Unless it's puzzling out where to put the gubbins at Kinnoull)
