A bit over three years ago Kita and I started going to Toni and Chris’ just talking, trying to make some kind of sense of all that happened in 2005. The talking evolved into learning and since then much of my life has been about trying to understand.
Lately though the understanding hasn’t been going quite so great and I think it’s probably fair to say that most of this is down to being a coal out of the fire. It’s fair to say I/we haven’t really settled down at a Church in Reading. Partly its our fault but also down to circumstances.
If Kita’s not working a Sunday then we tend to take the opportunity to see people. If she is working then having spent 6/7 hours at work without a break she tends to be a bit pooped and needs a good rest. That and I know Kita has been missing friends, especially her housegroup at BCC and likewise I miss friends from King's and the cell groups we had there.
So yeah, feeling like a coal out the fire. It has been effecting me, especially my creative side which seems to have dwindled a lot but I guess this is also down to not playing the trumpet much which in turn is down to not being part of a group to play in.
I guess it will all right itself when we head to Portsmouth but at the moment there’s no doubting the fire’s somewhat cooler and with it the enthusiasm and understanding.
Question is, whether to even hit Publish?
Sorry it’s really just gibberish.

That’s not gibberish.
However we have seasons, and right now your lives are not fitting with church for a variety of reasons. What this *should* teach you, is that when you get married and pressures/circumstances are different then you need to try to organise your lives around staying in the fire, rather than t’other way round.
You also need to watch that you don’t drift further out and get cold.
Take care guys – we miss you too.
