been away on a conference called Welcome to Wales. Pretty useful stuff...might have helped more to have gone on it last year! Good to be home...briefly...away for my Mum's priesting in Southwark Cathedral this Sunday.
felt a bit discouraged just recently but listened to a New Wine talk whilst at the gym this morning! It was all about courage and the bloke was talking about the Spartan army and in particular the battle of Thermopylae where just 300 men stood upto the might of the Persian Army - The performance of the defenders at the battle of Thermopylae is often used as an example of the advantages of training, equipment and good use of terrain to maximise an army's potential, as well as a symbol of courage against extremely overwhelming odds.
