Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From the Reverend Kate Bottley:

听

Given that my day job involves cassocks, cloaks and clerical wear, it鈥檚 probably no surprise that I have a thing for fancy dress. So a couple of weeks ago I was chuffed to bits to get an invite to my pal and fellow priest鈥檚 Reverend Anna鈥檚 40th birthday party. Not just wish her 鈥榗ongratulations鈥� and jubilations but because the theme was 90s icons and costumes were strongly encouraged. I contemplated a ginger wig, glasses and forgetting my toothbrush but went for conical bra and a head mic and settled on 鈥榣iving doll鈥� Madonna.

听

Mr Bottley, however was a little less enthusiastic when it came to deciding what to wear declaring, 鈥業 don鈥檛 care what I go as, but you sort it out.鈥� He may be that he regretted his words because I couldn鈥檛 resist being a bit of a 鈥榙evil woman鈥�, and that鈥檚 how last Friday night, at a church hall in Nottinghamshire, our Graham found himself, under the dazzlingly disco lights, dressed head to toe as the indisputable king of the 90鈥檚, Mr Blobby.

听

Graham鈥檚 not known for being an extrovert and has a nervous disposition, so honestly, I didn鈥檛 know how this would go, but I鈥檓 pleased to report he embraced it wholeheartedly. I asked him 鈥楧o you want to dance?鈥� he 鈥楽uddenly鈥� bounded onto the floor, and showing 鈥榯he young ones鈥� how it鈥檚 done, began to 鈥榤ove it鈥�, I really thought I was 鈥榙reaming鈥�.

听

Mr Blobby bounced around for most of the evening听 - Reborn (track 2 of Cliff鈥檚 new album) full of the sheer 鈥榡oy of living鈥� the very embodiment of Jesus鈥� gospel promise of 鈥榣ife in all it鈥檚 fullness鈥�, it made me proud and little bit tearful. And his exuberance reminded me that while we can鈥檛 always have much control over the circumstances of our own dance of life or indeed how long we get to stay on the floor, we can choose how we face the music and if we鈥檙e lucky, who we choose to face it alongside. And last Friday night as Mr Blobby showed the whole room how it was done, I knew there and then that there really was no place I鈥檇 rather be.听听 I did, however have to Carrie him home鈥�
