Highlight of November was this year's SU Scotland staff conference at Lendrick Muir, with teaching from Tommy MacNeil of Stornoway. A highly significant week both personally and corporately, calling us back to a place of depending on God and yet, when hearing from Him, away from being swayed by well meaning onlookers. Lots to digest over the weeks and months ahead, but the one pohrase that sticks in my mind was that 'Scotland needs its leaders to lead'. Hmm.
As aprt of the planning team this year, I was privileged to work with Gavin, my colleague from Dundee, to MC the main sessions. I also prepared a seminar but due to unpopular demand, was very blessed to be able to spend it with a couple of friends drinking coffee and reflecting on Tommy's input.
So, back up the road (200 miles) on December 1st in time for a Take One Action film night at the school, then off to be with friends following a family death. Long day, Thursday!
Commitments in Kyleakin for school assemblies and youth club followed but today the snow arrives for the first time this winter, and so my Applecross booking for this afternoon inevitable was cancelled. Still, a few things in the office filled its place, including a very rare moment of letter writing — by hand! Off to SoundWaves team meeting this evening before meeting with Malcolm in the morning as we consider a few things for the months ahead.
