According to the merchant banker PM, people cannot be 3 times sicker than they were a decade ago.
A decade which included austerity, a pandemic, a cost of living crisis and an aging population.
However, our doctors say people are 3 times sicker.
Hmmm, who to believe...
It was a pleasure to host the @springburnacad leavers service today. Well done to some amazing young folk and some amazingly dedicated teaching staff. Great results and amazing opportunities for the future.
I'm leading worship and preaching tomorrow Sunday 14th Jan 11am at Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church, Observatory Rd (off Byres Rd). Matthew, Mark, Luke, John... and Nate? An epiphany encounter from John 1 - thoughts on seeing and being seen. All welcome.
Preaching tomorrow in Springburn: 1 Peter 2 - telling the story of clearing out the damp + rotting basement of @ClaptonParkURC in Hackney during the big 90s refurb and finding a tattered copy of George MacLeod's 1944 book 'We Shall Rebuild' @ionacommunity which was a sign of hope
George MacLeod famously said ‘Christ was crucified on a rubbish heap between two thieves not on an altar between two candlesticks’ - i struggled today with gold chalices + gold plate on all sides. Too much bling…an aesthetic of excess undermines liturgy - craved some simplicity
