I am going for a ride behind the Flying Scotsman today. All its services during its visit to Somerset are sold out. There will be hundreds of people travelling behind ir over a few days, just for the ride. Yet we will end up back where we started.

Sometimes our journeys in life are a bit like that, we plan a journey, we do it, but - whether intended or not - we end up back where we started.

The search for a new Rector could be seen that way at the moment. Back where we started.

But it isn't really. We learn things along the way - including how to wait on God. We trust in God's perfect timing & continue to pray for the right person for Cobham, that, more than when, is what matters.

A trip on the Flying Scotsman is experiencing the past. More important is to seek God for the future, and have the patience to wait, and pray.
