Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

This is my (in)activity log. You might like to visit
Collabora
Productivity a subsidiary of Collabora focusing on LibreOffice support and
services for whom I work.
Also if you have the time to read this sort of stuff you could enlighten
yourself by going to Unraveling Wittgenstein's net or if
you are feeling objectionable perhaps here.
Failing that, there are all manner of interesting things to read on
the LibreOffice Planet news
feed.

- Up early, left Father testing his cheap Pyrotenax cabling from
the scrap merchant. To church, Ben playing bass today.
- A mixed service, moving into an inter-regnum.
Sir Peter preaching. Great to see Sami & Kate & Ruth,
Ali & Guy, et. al.
- Back for a large roast dinner, that even
Ed The Celiac (ETC) can eat. Packed the car with all manner
of good things.
- Drove back, listening to Brideshead revisited
I managed to absent mindedly drive past the M11 by a junction or
so. Got home in the end.
- Out for a walk across the town, rather cold.
Dinner. Listened to a great Gordon sermon on the very difficult
passage
1Cor11:1-15. Several interesting points:
- The equality of the sexes in worship - both
should pray and prophesy in church -
most likely a Young and Old type full spectrum.
- The headship entails authority - other
explanations not convincing, although attractive.
- The Man, and The Woman - not a general abstract
'everyman', but husband and wife - cf. NESV.
- The counter-cultural aspect - the Romans were
having a trend of covering their heads while worshiping
their pagan gods. [ extant statury proves this ],
Paul concerned to puncture such idolatory.
- Interesting that the Jews didn't get into their
(modern day) head covering until 500AD or so.
- Watched the blue planet - a most amazing and
enthralling series it seems, albeit with a seemingly haphazard
narrative (so far). Bed earlyish.

In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my
own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Collabora, SUSE,

It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy.
Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences
or fun.
