My name is Tired & Emotional. After 40 years I have decided that it is time that I confess to my addiction - well other than sport, politics, reading & music.
I AM A MODEL RAILWAY ENTHUSIAST.
Yes, I confess that, despite my manly & blokeish exterior, I too have an inner geek. It may not be as bad as wearing hats and pretending to be a wizard or goblin. It is definitely nowhere near as bad as being obsessed with Star Bores or Bored of The Rings.
During the deacon's meeting yesterday I was told not to proceed with an informal service as there had been some complaints when this was tried a few months ago. It seems that a vocal minority (aren't they always) did not like the discussion format and felt pressured to contribute.
So, throwing away my planned talk, and, deciding that my reserve sermon was not appropriate at this time, have started on the follow up to my previous sermon. As we are beginning a review of our church life and aims I've decided to carry on with the theme. So this brings me onto the reason for my dramatic - well it would be if I inserted sounds - confession.
As I've covered the need for the church to work together in planting seeds in the community I've decided that I'll continue with Nehemiah. The need to plan what you're doing.
Before you can build a good model layout you need to plan things through. What size will it be? How many tracks will it have and how many controllers will they need? Will I have scenery and buildings?
I'm sure that you get the drift....
I'm hoping that the chapel will forgive one of their deacons for hiding such an indecent and sinful habit for so long. As an unwise man once said, "Its so wrong, on so many levels, in so many shades!!"
