A Scottish politician was asked about their attitude toward whiskey. “If you mean the demon drink that poisons the mind, pollutes the body, and desecrates family life, I thoroughly deplore it” they said. “But if you mean our iconic national drink, the industry that employs thousands, the taxable beverage that puts money into the NHS, I’m a huge fan!”
I guess some politicians find it easy to look in two directions at once. But they have nothing on Janus, Roman god of beginnings, endings and transitions, who literally had two faces – looking at once into past and future. His eponimous month, January, is when we tend to do the same.
So, at St Andrew’s this Sunday we’ll be reflecting on the past and looking toward the future, and particularly at the way God changes us as we travel forward with him. As for resolutions: well, that’s entirely up to you.
Sunday, 4th January, at 10:30am. St Andrews Church, High St, Auchterarder PH3 1BN, or via Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7209731710
