I gave my first church service on Sunday at Brighton Unitarian Church. As I've been exploring and finding wonder and creativity in my life over the last year, I chose Wonder as the subject - naturally! Here is the talk I gave:
Intro
I am in the middle of redecorating my lounge. The very old stained carpet has been removed, cut up and thrown away. It’s revealed an old dark painted Victorian floor. Solid though and of good quality.
On Wednesday the workman came in, nailed down the boards, filled in a few holes and started sanding it back. On Thursday he rubbed on the wood stain and varnished it. It’s not dull and black anymore; it’s bright and golden!
I cannot believe the transformation. I keep going back and sneaking another look! I was not expecting the change to be so dramatic. It was quite a surprise, and it has given me renewed energy and impetus. It’s just wonderful!
