Why should this Saturday be different to every other Saturday? – lent 2023

My favourite ever film is called ‘The Frisco Kid’. It’s the story of a Polish rabbi and a cowboy travelling together and their hilarious adventures. At one stage the cowboy robs a bank, and the duo have to run away from a posse who are out the capture them. The problem is that they needContinue reading “Why should this Saturday be different to every other Saturday? – lent 2023”

Guilt is a wasted emotion – lent 2023

We started this lent talking about introspection. Looking inward with an honest lense, acknowledging the good and the bad. One of the ‘bad’ emotions we can sometimes try to bury or ignore is guilt. Maybe you don’t ignore it but live with it hanging over you. A mistake made once upon a time that dictatesContinue reading “Guilt is a wasted emotion – lent 2023”

And breathe… lent 2023

Have you ever found yourself so busy that you don’t have time to stop? With deadlines looming and too much still to do? Have you found you’ve said yes to too much and suddenly have lots of plates to keep spinning and are in danger of dropping them all? No? Good for you, you’re doingContinue reading “And breathe… lent 2023”

A look in the mirror – lent 2023

It hardly seems possible that it’s been almost a year since the last lent, since I chose to focus on God daily by writing a blog post. And yet, so much has happened that it also feels like a lifetime ago. So many distractions, so much unnecessary noise. So here we are again. 40 daysContinue reading “A look in the mirror – lent 2023”

40 day  challenge Easter Sunday bonus: Joy is infectious

We’ve left lent and entered into the season of Easter. So, to bring the challenge to a conclusion and enter into the new season, I have one last post to write. (Don’t worry, I mean the last post in this series. I will write more, just not every day!) Yesterday night, after writing the postContinue reading “40 day  challenge Easter Sunday bonus: Joy is infectious”

40 day challenge day 41… the day of stillness

So, the 41st post in a 40 day challenge. I made a mistake at the beginning and wrote a full post on a Sunday, so reached the end of my 40 days before I reached the end of lent. So the final lenten post. On Good Friday, we remember Jesus dieing. On Easter Sunday weContinue reading “40 day challenge day 41… the day of stillness”

40 day challenge day 40: Those that Jesus loved

It’s the 40th post in the 40 day challenge. Because I posted on the first Sunday of lent, I’ve arrived at day 40 a day before lent ends…. Which means there’s another post coming tomorrow. But today’s post has been mulling in my mind for a little while. What can I write on the dayContinue reading “40 day challenge day 40: Those that Jesus loved”

40 day challenge day 39: The leader who served

I have just got back from a Maundy Thursday service combined with a meal. It was really well put together. There was some liturgy, some hymns, some readings and homemade soup. We sang some of the hymns I put on the list last Sunday (Brother, Sister, let me serve you and My Song is LoveContinue reading “40 day challenge day 39: The leader who served”

40 day challenge day 38: Romans 12

I was reading some writing I had done a few years ago. I found a bit of writing about Romans 12. It is based on a particular verse that I found encouraging then, amd I still find encouraging now. I’ve been taught to read verses in context, so I looked up the test of theContinue reading “40 day challenge day 38: Romans 12”
