"We are not the healers, we are not the reconcilers. We are sinful, broken and vulnerable people who need as much care as anyone we care for. The mystery of ministry is that we have been chosen to make our limited and very conditional love the gateway for the unlimited and unconditional love of God." ~H. Nouven

Intro to Blog World
It seems odd to be doing this; writing to what appears to be the empty abyss of cyberworld; but I am hoping at least a few people find me here and read my musings lest I be reduced to typing into empty space. Which, I fear, may even be worse than talking to one's self. I hesitate to embark on this strange journey of "blogging", much like I hesitate to leave messages on answering machines when calling people on the phone. For reasons which I have yet to fully realise, I have always been mildly terrified of leaving messages, as it always leaves me with this lurking feeling of having spoken to no one, and therefore being either slightly insane, or worse; leaving open the possibility of being heard. Yes, I am slightly paranoid. So it should come to no surprise; to any of you who might be hearing me now; that this is a stretch for me when it comes to comfort zones. Yet here I am. Hoping to both keep the curious informed of where we are at in life and where God is taking us, and to have the option of tossing my musings to those of you who could feign being entertained by the debriefing of my mind.
