Jo asked in her last comment about my new book idea so I thought I would give you a brief explanation- as your comments on this idea would be gratefully received. I am thinking of writing a short book of daily readings which would combine anecdotal stories with a spiritual thought, for people suffering from Anxiety and Depression. It's far from definite yet but I kind of see it like a chocolate bar (if books were food) hopefully it would give people a boost, but it would not be theologically deep enough to keep you going all day in isolation! I think when we are feeling awful we want something that shows us that we are not alone in the idiotic aspects of life ......
Starting to write again, as well as working part-time (in a school for Deaf children) has its consequences. Recently it was brought to my attention that as a result of my busyness I was not completely in control of my material world! This occurred one morning before school, when my daughter asked me to find her some vital undergarments and I found myself genuinely asking God to create some new ones, as I feared that none were clean. (I mean if God did create some, would he have his own label or get them from a local supplier?) It turned out that there was one little pair at the bottom of the ironing basket and I had a lucky escape. I know God can do amazing things but surely this was just the danger of an unattended laundry bin and I was asking too much of him?
