As we go through each day, things we see, do or say leave an impact. Sometimes that impact lasts seconds, sometimes it lasts years. Sometimes, memories come back time and again, some with good feelings and some with bad. Internally, it’s almost like we have another voice commentating as we go. It’s the sort ofContinue reading “Whose voice is it? – lent 2023”

Back to basics – lent 2023
It’s been a long day. A long, cold day. The place I work is windy at the best of times. At the moment, that wind has a cold bite to it. And today, my work included sitting outside for an hour talking to visitors. OK, I was sitting in a tent, but it still wasn’tContinue reading “Back to basics – lent 2023”
One of a kind – lent 2023
This week’s Sunday bonus is a reminder that you are one of a kind and Jesus paid the price to save you.
Let us pray – lent 2023
“Let us pray” is a phrase I’ve grown up hearing. It’s the cue to close our eyes and boe our heads, and possibly put our hands together. I heard it a little at school and I’ve heard it growing up in church. In the last few years, I have had the privilege to walk alongsideContinue reading “Let us pray – lent 2023”
Be strong, take heart – lent 2023
I have written a little about healthy introspection, seeing ourselves as we really both the good and the bad. The point of this is to help us move forwards. We can identify places where we need to grow, or areas we have a weakness we need to be careful of as well as indetifying giftsContinue reading “Be strong, take heart – lent 2023”
A tree has many branches… – lent 2023
Last year I was out walking and I found a cedar tree. I didn’t know it was a cedar tree, it just caught my eye because it was an interesting shape. It had a lot of branches (yes, I am aware that all trees have a lot of branches!) and these branches were all strong,Continue reading “A tree has many branches… – lent 2023”
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”
