Well, I’ve been having a lot of fun geocaching, although I was beginning to wonder whether all geocaches are located at odorous emergency toilet facilities, especially in France – but thankfully I did some lovely ones yesterday.
Anyway, I’ve been trying to get some geocaching friends, which is much harder than anticipated. Although it’s possible to ‘befriend’ someone via the website, there aren’t that many geocachers in my particular location; they’re all in the regional cosmopolitan metropolis 25 miles way, so virtual church is becoming much more of a possibility!!!
I’ve also braved the social networking arena, but again the drawbacks of this are that almost all my friends are already Christians and from my denomination. So I’ve decided to limit my friends to those who aren’t members of the same uniform wearing brigade, which makes me look like ‘Billy no-mates’ in the process. The intention is to set up a group for my unsuspecting emerging church, but I have not dedicated the time to suss out how to do this yet.
I’ve also spent some time this week designing a poster advertising that I will do guided geocaching/treasure hunting around my area on two afternoons starting immediately. This would be fine if the summer weather improved and anyone decided to come! I thought it would be a good ‘touristy’ thing to offer for the summer months, although it has the drawbacks of attracting tourist rather than regulars/locals. Hopefully it will develop.
All in all I’ve been trying to do things, but have missed out on the one important thing that might actually achieve something, which of course is praying about it. I’d better put this at the top of my list of ‘things to do’.
Hi out there! I am feeling particularly pleased with myself, as I have just managed to add a slideshow of geocaching pictures and also a video bar of geocaching videos, that I’m watching as I’m writing. What a techie whizz I am!
