		<description><![CDATA[I went to a rave.
Well, ok, maybe that&#8217;s not the best term for it, but it&#8217;s hard to choose a word without making quite a strong value judgement that I don&#8217;t feel happy to make.
I have a friend who I am trying to introduce to things Christian. He and I are both musicians so when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a moment of lucidity.
Often enough I&#8217;ve sat in sermons and been told that how I behave on Sunday should affect how I behave during the rest of the week, and that I shouldn&#8217;t be like those numerous people who are all pious on Sunday but complete swines come Monday morning.
And those sermons never [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had to change my mind
One of my favourite hymns is &#8220;When I survey the wondrous cross&#8221;. Possibly I was influenced by Iona&#8217;s version of it, and I was certainly pleased to introduce a version based on their arrangement into our church&#8217;s music repertoire. For the first few times it always elicited a story from [...]]]></description>

A friend is, it seems to me, doing something that they shouldn&#8217;t be, something that could cause a lot of hurt and damage to quite a lot of people. And I find I want to sidle up to them and quietly point out that I can see what they are doing, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I learnt not to talk.
Some years ago I heard a discussion about how people think, and that some people think first and then speak, as you might naively expect, but that others speak first, and can&#8217;t actually think without speaking. And I realized that I mostly fall in that strange second group. So many of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was told I was wrong.
I wrote before about my problems with saying things that were wrong. I also have a problem with doing things that are wrong, but a different problem. I have an astounding combination of self-assurance and self-diffidence. If I do something, then I will have my own opinion on whether I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was wrong.
When someone asks me a question, I&#8217;m often torn between the impulse to want to help, by answering the question, and the impulse to be honest and admit that I don&#8217;t know. (There&#8217;s also another pull, which occurs every time I consider opening my mouth, which is to try to say something funny, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I found all the best cowboys have chinese eyes.
I&#8217;m a strong believer in serendipity. I think most people are &#8211; not all, definitely, but most. An awful lot of people are prepared to trust themselves to luck with the lottery.  And on a more esoteric level a lot of artistic types rely on luck [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally noticed that I didn&#8217;t know when to stop.
It&#8217;s something you just learn, isn&#8217;t it? Or most people learn, at any rate. But it seems I just didn&#8217;t. And it&#8217;s more of an indirect problem than a problem in itself, because it means I&#8217;m constantly expecting to be told to stop. I&#8217;m expecting to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had an insight
It&#8217;s a familiar cliche with kids that they push boundaries. The pat theory is that they do this to check that the boundaries are there, and they gain reassurance from finding the boundaries good and solid. If this theory is correct then the kids need the boundaries there, but will do their [...]]]></description>
