Well here I am again, quite a while since my last post, thought i'd better spend abit of my day off catching up on a few things. Spent yesterday in Dublin, hadn't realised the marathon was happening, but made the most of the lack of shop's open by visiting Trinity College and viewing the Book of Kells. Always something I had intended to see, quite amazing detail and craftsmanship in producing it so many years ago - blows your mind really.
Brought home how fortunate we are to have our Christian heritage, but equally sad to think how far society on these shores has fallen and how little interest the majority of folk have in the Christian faith. We've fallen into a "pick-and-mix" mentality where we make a religion that suits our lifestyle and doesn't involve the sacrifices necessary, a consequence of our consumer society I guess. But this is the world into which we are called to go into and make disciples, quite a challenge. O how we need to pray..............
