The View from the Vicarage - June 2010

It was our final night as we were walking towards the Big Top at Spring Harvest. I recalled friends returning from this 10 years ago saying how everyone had been given £10 and asked to use it to raise £100 and send the money back to the charity. I had wondered how I would turn £10 into £100. However, this night, I thought if that happened now I would use it to kick-start the café and send the first £100 to the charity. When we arrived at the meeting, everyone was handed an envelope with the instruction not to open it until told to do so.

The View from the Vicarage - May 2010

Another: On the 1st day, God created the dog and said:
‘Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of 20 years.'
The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only 10 years and I'll give you back the other 10?'
So God agreed.
On the 2nd day, God created the monkey and said:
'Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a 20 year life span.'
