Working From Home
Today has been sooooo nice. The slight privilege of being your own boss most days means that today, considering that we had stuff on the north shore – I’ve been working from home for the rest of the afternoon. Oh the bliss of being able to cook delicious spinach salad for lunch and working with the relative peacefulness of the port magnolia tree scent fragrant in the summer breeze that’s rolling in through the windows. All the doors and windows are open in the balmy 22 degrees. I know that it’s a short promise of summer, because come November, it’ll be rain and grey stormclouds that will probably last til December. So for now, in the final days of September I will enjoy the absence of the sirens and thoroughfare of the Odeon Precinct. Of course, only til tomorrow and then i’ll be back to work.
Small Indulgences
For the past three (yes, it’s been three years that I’ve been here!) years that I’ve been living in my perfect cottage, I’ve had an old as tv with only 2 channels and fairly dodgy reception on both! But my sister moving home, means that my granddad’s old tv (not that old though) is available and for the first time in ages i’m enjoying the privilege of a remote, full colour reception across all the free to air channels including Maori tv and more. It feels pretty luxurious. oh yeah. I’m big into lifestyle. Seriously.

Whenever I See Your Face
Whenever it gets to this time of year and the planning for Eastercamp starts to heat up in terms of programming and theming, I always like to dwell on this picture by Andy McGregor. It seems to me like it captures something of the beauty and relevance of the Gospel to young people. Inspiring.

Every Time I Get Ready To Leave This Town, I Realise That There’s Nowhere Left To Go,
Cos Every Place I Haven’t Been, You Already Know
It’s been a frantic couple of weeks. A wedding on Saturday which I took photos for, lots of work, lots of guitar playing on Sunday, and a coffee launch. More thinking to come later but for now…

Five Questions
Today Stu popped in for a brief sojourn. We had limited time and so I offered him a deal – five questions, about anything. He has five asks of me, I five of him, and we go one at a time.
Here’s what we ended up with – the answers you’ll need to figure out yourself.
Stu: Do you have a boyfriend?
Tash: Are recent “issues” to do with controlling the universe around you?
Stu: How is Eastercamp planning going?
Tash: Are you the only member of your household at your church?
Stu: How much longer will you be at Windsor Park?
Tash: Do you always wear underwear?
Stu: Emerging Church: Do you care?
Tash: What’s the most profoundly beautiful experience you’ve ever had?
Stu: What’s the Gospel?
Tash:Are you happy?
I recommend this as a great way of spending intentional time with people. It both requires and offers vunerability, the opportunity for compassion, truthtelling and new ideas.
