I apologise for leaving on a question last term. I didn’t fall asleep, honest! I suppose I was hoping to provoke some thought and maybe encourage some response. Of course I am more than happy to provide answers, according to what I believe, and discuss further with anyone who is interested. My email is phil_todd1@yahoo.co.uk. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
This first week back has been one of unexpected challenge and growth. Unfortunately, and somewhat disappointingly, I have been unsuccessful in both the ‘Enter the Pitch’ and ‘FilmG’ competitions. In all honesty I’m quite glad. It’s been a powerful reminder of what I’m actually here for and why I do what I do. Worldy success is certainly desirable and for those with a certain attitude, and maybe a touch of talent, it is quite attainable but no matter how successful we are it doesn’t last, and it won’t satisfy. Even if our ‘name’ lives on for a few generations it will all come to an end eventually when this world’s time runs out. I think it's different for the Christian. It wouldn’t be totally inaccurate to describe a Christian as a heavenly ‘brickie’! Slowly and faithfully they lay stone upon stone, building the foundations of God’s Kingdom on Earth, and their heavy labour often goes unseen, even scorned, by the world. Yet they are not the ones wasting their life. For this Kingdom is eternal and when this Earth has passed away and the greatest film ever made is long forgotten their work will be revealed, and enjoyed forevermore. I hope, as I start this New Year, that I will remember to be a hardworking and obedient bricklayer.
