Today I took a break from study and watched an episode of Firefly, a ‘space-western’ TV show from 2002. The series follows the crew of a spaceship who take any job that pays, even if it is technically against the law. (They have their own moral code so are definitely the ‘good guys’) In theContinue reading “Lent 2026: Exactly where you’re meant to be”

Complete Trust
Have you ever been blindfolded and led somewhere? I hate those kind of activities. I always pull against the person trying to lead me, step gingerly and stumble a lot. I can’t find the will to trust the person leading despite the fact that they can see and I can’t. Even without knowing the way,Continue reading “Complete Trust”
40 day challenge day 17: “But we got to see the pigs…”
OK, slightly strange title, but bear with me. I enjoy going onong walks. I especially enjoy going in long walks in the countryside with a group. Last year, I did one of these walks and there was a point where we had a choice of going straight on or turning right. We were looking forContinue reading “40 day challenge day 17: “But we got to see the pigs…””
40 day challenge day 10: Waiting on a miracle
OK, last day in Encanto (please keep cheering to a minimum, some people like Disney…) Now we reach the main character, Mirabel herself. Mirabel wasn’t blessed with a gift when she became the right age. She doesn’t have a room of her own. At the beginning of the film we see her introduce her wholeContinue reading “40 day challenge day 10: Waiting on a miracle”
40 day challenge day 2: The wrong direction
Reading back through some previous posts, it almost reads like I’ve got it sorted, this walking with God thing, (I don’t) like I never waver (I do). My favourite stand alone film which I come back to time and again as a ‘feel-good’ film is The Frisco Kid. I may have posted about it before.Continue reading “40 day challenge day 2: The wrong direction”
40 day challenge: An introduction
A year ago I was challenging myself to spend 4 weeks on each of 6 different spiritual disciplines. I got something out of doing that, so I decided I’d do something similar this year – not giving anything up but using the time to refocus on God. So, my challenge which I am setting myselfContinue reading “40 day challenge: An introduction”
Hunting for God: Solitude
And… we’re back! Well I am. Back to hunting for a deeper relationship through what are lovingly called Spiritual Disciplines. And I guess they are disciplines because they need self-discipline to properly explore them. But I think I may have said before that they shouldn’t be strict or harsh – then they become religious exercises.Continue reading “Hunting for God: Solitude”
