You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Isaiah 26:3

I am conscious that quite a few weeks have past since I last updated this blog - but its nothing to do with lack of interest - its just been a busy few weeks. I have continued to visit police stations on the Division and tend to consume more tea/coffee with each visit. But I am now on first name terms with virually all the regular staff at the three small stations. I still have some problems with Div HQ where I am constantly discovering new nooks and crannies where people are beavering away and because its Div HQ seem to have less time to pass the time of day. I did take a service of child presentation a couple of Sundays ago for a member of police staff and her husband which was well attended.
One thing which is very interesting is that all kind of mayhem is happening in the surrounding divisions with some awful Road Traffic Collisions claiming many lives over the last couple of months, but people seem to be driving more safely around this Division? For the moment at any rate there doesn't seem a lot for a Chaplain to do... except dink tea and coffee and listen.
