Those of you who have followed this a little will know doubt be aware of the trials and tribulations of Frodo, and how much he has taught me since he had his leg amputated back in December. He has adjusted and coped, and so have I. We walk round Bartley Green together with a sense of pride; the balding, slightly rotund vicar and his three legged lurcher. He has caused me to slow down. Frodo has shown me that being vulnerable is not something I preach about and even sometimes write about, but is a pattern for living. Here is a picture of him running today.

He is doing what he does best; he is living. And I am trying to follow his example.
