The Rollercoaster week ... that was

I foolishly at the start of this week changed my status on facebook to ...
"Who Knows what this week will bring ..." thinking that it was to focus on the curacy round ... how wrong I was to be!

Last weekend was spent up in Belfast with Ron and Janice at Stranmillis which was great

Sunday was the longest bus journey down to dublin it took me 4 and a half hours to get from Belfast to Dublin ... which involved a bus driver taking directions from a drunk passenger who was telling him to turn right on a motorway! ....mmmm....missed last tram and had to take a strange dublin bus... anyway ...

Monday was pretty straight forward I think.

Tues was great getting home and being able to walk down Banbridge street in the middle of a week day ... how amazing that was !!!

Wed was extremely busy ... interviewing people for my dissertation and having a reunion with the scott family over dinner and then back down to dublin in the train ... it was great to have a whole carriage to myself ... good thinking time.

Thurs was crazy ... class in the morning ... rectors appearing in college in the afternoon and then the white envelopes at 3 O Clock ... agggh ...*

Out for a meal in the evening with the class to a very expensive indian! but very nice food.

I write this blog also to highlight that probably most human emotions are caught up somewhere in this week

- Joy at being placed in the curacy round
- concious of much prayer needed those who havent yet been placed
- Grief and shock at the sudden death of Uncle Colin whose funeral I will be participating in tomorrow
- Praying for healing for a friend and fellow Christian who is undergoing major surgery next week
- Celebrating with Claire and Paul at their Engagement Party tonight
- Concentrating on 2 sermons for sunday for St. Barts as it is my last sunday.

So there we go ... a full run down on this and its not over yet!

Knock Knock ... who's there ...?? :-)
