Well today I’ve turned 58. Actually that’s not accurate; I’ve completed 58 years of life (plus the 9 months in utero). What with all the gallivanting around during the previous week and the visits of Laura and Indu the celebrations have been protracted and rather nice. So have all the congratulatory messages on Facebook, Linkedin and elsewhere.
Manali Masihi Mandali CNI Church does not generally follow the Common Lectionary, but in preaching (partly) over Genesis 3.1-7 this morning pastor Naresh did pick up on one of the major themes of the first Sunday in Lent, that of Temptation. I thought he did a good job.
After church and trying out a new restaurant that makes dosa with Lena I spent most of the afternoon and evening skyping our children, my parents and our good friends Glen and Julia Hobbs. Communications now are SO different than they were 30 years ago! In between times I answered the congratulatory messages. I had intended going out cycling this afternoon, but as church ended the rain began. Well…this was also a good way to spend the afternoon. At least I feel appreciated. I feel that I have friends all over the world, including many new ones here in India.
Happy 58th birthday, David.
