This blog has been paralysed for some time and its time to get back to a more committed and consistent delivery of posts. Do I still have anything worthwhile to say? I read, reflect and write and so believe that i can compose something of 
interest.
I saw a tv programme on super vets where they operated on a giraffe with problems walking because of over grown hooves, causing it to hobble. This is a perennial problem with giraffes in captivity and its a sensitive operation because these gentle creatures don't do well when coming around from an anaesthetic. If they were in the wild they would be able to keep there hooves worn down because of the freedom of space they could gallop around in. Giraffes in captivity don't have such opportunities. I guess i have been feeling restricted in a similar fashion and it is now time to re-engage and see where this takes me. I long for verdant savannahs.
Welcome back, its been a long time, I am on another break from reading and posting though the thinking doesn't stop as easily, but this is due mostly to the BSc I am starting in Substance Use and Misuse and the books involved.
I look foward to some posts, we need to catch up as well.

Heh bro, good to see you back on the blog, that's some sabbitical :)
Well you know that old wimberism - never trust someone who doesn't walk with a limp - a lot to be said for that I find given that pain/suffering and time seem to be 2 top ways that God uses to grow our character...
I reckon there's something challenging in Paul's whole argument in Romans 12-15 about mature christians deliberately choosing to limit their freedom(s) in order to help others out...
Doesn't stop the longing for freedom of the plains on the other hand it does give us growing pains...
what do you think?
