thinking things

This week has been a strangely good week. Here's a few thoughts I've been having.

*Abseiling is a fairly good analogy of faith. Before we left SES HQ on Monday night one of the elder SES statemen asked if I was religious. He then went on to say that abseiling is a good exercise in stepping out in faith. The faith factor hits home when you're 15 metres above the ground, leaning off a wall with your bum feeling the breeze. It's a good analogy of where I'm at. Above terra firma, slightly scared but excited because I know that I'll soon be on the ground and all the better for having gone over.

*Why hasn't anyone bred an onion that doesn't make you cry when you cut it? I looked like a real goose in the kitchen the other day when I was wearing my goggles while cutting an onion.
