The blog of the Ancient Mariner: Ever have an event that's the emotional equivalent of standing on your own shoelace?

Ever have an event that's the emotional equivalent of standing on your own shoelace?

Just had some news from elsewhere, and it's one of those things that makes your head spin an little and resolve soften for the moment. Chris and I are fine BTW, just in case you wondered.

You find that you care for people, and when things don't go well for them it makes for bumps in the road of emotion. I've not fallen over, carrying the analogy forward, but it felt a loss of balance for a bit.

Play nice - I will delete anything I don't want associated with this blog and I will delete anonymous comments.

Why post emergent?

Why not?

Some years ago I wrote about things relating to church I thought were important then and probably still do to an extent. So many of us want to make sure stuff is right, trying to differentiate ourselves, yet also often miss the more important stuff, the bigger picture.

I watch various people doing church in different ways and wonder how much God is concerned about our 'important' bits of theology or stances we take. The church stream I was once so pleased to be part of is starting to look like every other church to me, so maybe it's time I had a little humility instead of pride at being different.
