Tea and Comments

Well, this morning I am posting once again during my real, genuine, actual tea-break - and it is a most welcome one!
It has been a very peculiar morning... during which I managed to lose among other things and people, the vicar and my assembly! If only that text message had arrived, all would have become crystal clear! Oh well, all in a days ministering I suppose!

And now for some other tea-break revelations... [revelations, ha ha... I didn't want to use the word 'randomness' again - too many posts containing the word 'random' round here!]

First, I have found it interesting that the two of my blog posts 'most found via a search engine' are 'The Temple Curtain' and 'Diary of a Church Mouse' - and yet neither of these has a single comment on them. My analytical self tends to weigh up these kind of things without the rest of me even noticing sometimes, and I can't help but wonder if:

a) They are found via a search but when the reader arrives they are not remotely related to what they were looking for.
b) They were remotely related to the searched for subject but the reader found them totally uninteresting on arrival (the posts that is, not the 'Diary of a Church Mouse' poem itself - what a classic!) and so were far too polite to comment.
c) They were remotely related to the searched for subject but having read them the reader found them totally unworthy of comment (this of course relates more to The Temple Curtain as I wrote it!).
d) They were found reasonably interesting on arrival, but most of us after all don't post comments on most, or at least some, of the posts we read.
e) They were found so supremely fantastic and spiritually moving that the reader was rendered temporarily speechless and totally unable to make a comment.
f) The reader was about to comment but the kettle boiled so they went off to make a cup of tea, which is far more interesting.

Well, it is important to ponder the important questions of the universe, don't you think?

And lastly, in this rather random (oops, I said it) post, I would like to mention that I am currently reading 'Basil Hume The Monk Cardinal' by Anthony Howard and it is excellent - Basil Hume was an inspiring man and I would recommend this book (whatever your churchmanship, or lack of).

Right, I'm going to finish that cup of tea now...
