A is for All Together

It was so good to meet up with so many friends and colleagues at the recent Together 2022 event in Birmingham. Particularly after the lack of events due to Covid-19 over the past few years.

The event was actually three events in one! It saw the Symphony Sounds Gospel music concerts, the commissioning and ordination of new Salvation Army officers (ministers), and a Congress event where Salvationists from all over the country got together. 

Did that make this year's event so much more intense? I think so, and I certainly felt it. The intensity of the event is the reason I can't rest, I need to unpack it a little further ...

 

A-Z - positive mental attitude

Where's your head at?

(Y'all know how it be)

Where's your head at?

Where's your head at?

(You don't make it easy on yourself)

Where's your head at?

(What you give is what you get...

Is what you get... what you get...)

I've just come back from a long weekend working at an Salvation Army event. Lots of high points. And a handful of lows in the mix, too. My mind is a whirl, trying to sort out my thoughts. It's rather chaotic in my head at the moment.

It's also that time of year where I look for a topic to blog about. Alphabetically, A. through to Z, for 26 consecutive days.

What better topic could I pick? Keeping a positive mental attitude when you are working away from home. 

Some of the posts may seem a bit random however all are connected, albeit tangentally. It's a bit of a stream of consciousness. However, this should help me make some sense of how I am - and how I feel - at the moment. 

Apart from a little weary...
