Today is my first attempt at blogging. I have been putting it off for a while now; I much prefer to use the spoken word rather than the written to communicate, although I love to read almost anything and everything. I suppose it is the fact you can modify the spoken word as you go along assessing the response from your audience, be it one person or a group and adjusting accordingly. When you write your words are committed to a fixed form to stand or fall according to the reader. Then again it could be that my lack of a good basic education means that I am very aware that there will be a host of nit picking errors for everyone to spot. This form of writing is even worse because it is openly on view to everyone not just a select few.

I am just about to leave to help set up a stall for some churches at Wootton's 'Walk in the Park' event. A stall for information giving away homemade cakes and biscuits and balloons and hopefully a prayer tent as well. One of the group is setting up a board on which to put postcards of 'Questions you would like to ask God' should get some interesting responses. We are just hoping the weather stays fine and dry today many outdoor events have been rained of or seriously curtailed by the weather already this year.
