By Andy HowieOver the past few weeks we've been having some building work carried out on our house. I wasn't looking forward to it and I didn't enjoy it; it caused a lot of disruption and it unsettled me. Thankfully, it's coming to an end now, but as I've found myself searching for clarity and tidiness I have realised that, curiously, it's not just been in the house. I've been wrestling with a strong inclination to understand what I am bringing to the work I do, and I wonder whether when one area of life is unavoidably messy I compensate by seeking order elsewhere. Even if that is the case I think it's a helpful process to sift and sort, so I'll share a little of my thinking.
