Pause For Thought
So you might know that recently I’ve taken up outdoor swimming. And as well as a whole load of gear (and not really much idea) the other thing I’ve gained is a community of like minded souls who embrace the cold and love the cake. Through the summer we’ve welcomed the fair weather fellows but now the temperatures in and out of the water are getting into single figures, it isn’t just the mercury that’s dropping, the numbers of dippers are too. The general consensus being that it is some sort of insanity to want to swim in cold water. Well, ever the one to take things a bit too far, this weekend me and 500 other people are going for a swim…at sunrise…in the north sea…completely and utterly naked. Yes, that’s right, not even the vicar’s knickers.Â
It’s all for a very good cause of course, The North East Skinny Dip raises awareness and funds for mental health charities. The bible has a promise about the rough waves ‘When you pass though the waters I am with you and the waters will not overcome you.’ All well and good, but as I recall it’s walking on water that’s the Divine’s forte, not swimming in it. So where will God be while I’m braless in the brine?Â
Well, for me God is present in my pals, because the truth is that not only would I struggle to keep my head above water without God, I would without doubt drown in the pressures of life without those who I swim beside. The friends who check I’m not about to go under, help me find the peace in a troubled sea, keep me waving not drowning. I just need to remember to ask for help when I need it. Swimming in cold water you get used to people saying ‘You must be mad!’ but actually it’s doing stuff like that helps me not to be. So on Sunday morning I’ll grab the hands of the people next to me, strangers and friends and brave the waves together. I’ll also be chatting live to Jason Mohammed on Good Morning Sunday, at around 8.20am and you and me both will be thanking the good Lord that when it comes reporting a skinny dip it’s radio and not telly.
