Still been feeling terrible this week but have tried to keep going. Had to miss a training day I had been looking forward to on Thursday but made the effort in the evening to go to lead a Quiet Evening in St John's Ystradyfodwg. This church was built in the 1980's to replace two other churches in the parish. It has recently been joined with the Parish of St Peter's Pentre to form a Benefice (much like the one that was disbanded there about 20 years ago). It was good to have about 30 people present to listen to my talk and to participate in methods of contemplative prayer. However with so much material and so little time it was like trying to run a marathon in an hour. But at least they were keen and good things are beginning to go on there. They are thinking of forming a Prayer Group and interested in deeping the spiritual life of the Parish. So I was very glad that despite feeling terrible I made the effort.
Kept telling myself this week that I would try to tidy the study and get on with my MA assignment but lacked the concentration for either! Jusst hope this cold finally goes soon!!!
