Celebrations

Today I noticed that BBC Parliament are repeating the footage of Diana's funeral in real time from the day she was buried ten years ago. Lots of people have at least been 'nudged' to think about her life and others are actively celebrating her life, ten years on from her death.

I've just got back from a lovely wedding at King's Community Church in Hedge End - another celebration of a different kind. It's funny seeing someone you grew up with getting married!

In a moment I'll be heading off to Bournemouth to celebrate the 6th and 9th birthdays of the two Lawrences boys - children I spent a year living with when I did Frontier Project in Bournemouth Family Church.

Later this evening we'll be having a family meal to celebrate my Dad's 47th birthday, which is also today.

So, lots of celebrations! And to top it all off, we call Life Church's Sunday morning meeting our 'main celebration'. I see nothing wrong with spending large parts of a weekend celebrating.
