Times Like These...

Someone said I should share some of my facebook statuses on here, so I thought yeah I could share some previous ones which folks might be interested in/amused by...I'll post work related ones today, and another day some about my time in Africa and then some random ones!...Enjoy!!!
WARNING: This is meant to be light-hearted and make you smile, so please don't take any offence!

2013: 
Had a weird dream last night (like I do most nights!lol), which had the main theme of 'George is too small to be the Archbishop of Canterbury!' Hahaha How strange!!!!!!

Today in my Lent Group we played ‘George’s God-Words’ and in Youth Group we played ‘George’s Musical Forfeits’…both seemed to go down very well.,and I came to the conclusion that everything is better if you stick the word ‘George’ in front of it!!!....vain, me?!..I don’t know what you’re talking about…or rather, George doesn’t know what you’re talking about!!..see…it worked!!!!!!LOL

2012:
So you're a Priest and you like rock & metal music?..Oh yes, I will literally rock the hell out of you!!

Go into primary school to talk to 6 year olds about Bible stories, end up singing with the class Lady Gaga's Bad Romance.......

Some days my job is everything you expect ME to be doing –hanging out in ancient gothic buildings, wearing black, eating biscuits and chatting, praying, cheering people up, in conversations seeped with, and situations surrounded by, aspects of death, grief and pain, and looking for hope and light within the darkness, negativity and hatred in the world, AT OTHER TIMES it involves going to flower festivals!!

Reasons I'm a vicar, reason #10 -because nothing beats THAT feeling of being in a graveyard in the dark at night on your own...

*with a couple arranging a family members funeral*
Question: “Do you allow any music in church for a funeral? Cuz I want AC/DC when I go. I’m a big heavy metal fan!
Me: “Yeah most things, we’ve had all sorts in the past. And, me too! I go to Download every year and saw Black Sabbath there this summer.
Reply: “That’s amazing! I also play electric guitar.
Me: “Me too. I’ve just got a Fender Strat squire. What have you got?
Reply: “Cool!! I’ve got a Fender Strat and a Les Paul. Do you wanna see them?
Me: “Obviously!
*both go to the guitars*
Reply: “Have a go if you want. I’ll turn up the volume on the amp
Me: “Turn up the overdrive too” *Pick up guitar, start playing*
Reply: “Well, before you arrived, I never expected a visit from a vicar to end up with her rocking out like this!

2007:
looking forward to the giant puppets and Desmond Tutu tomorrow.
