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”

One life is as sacred as an entire planet
I was watching a programme today called ‘The Sarah Jane Adventures’. Its a Dr Who spin off aimed at younger children, and came out when I was at the right age to watch it so I was rewatching for the sake of something easy to watch. In the particular episode I was watching, Sarah JaneContinue reading “One life is as sacred as an entire planet”
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 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”
40 day challenge day 27: A job well done
I painted a labyrinth this week… We are setting up some interactive prayer stations, and one of those stations is a labyrinth. For those who are interested, a labyrinth is different from a maze because there is only one path that takes you to the centre, no dead ends. Its an inevitable journey with onlyContinue reading “40 day challenge day 27: A job well done”
40 day challenge day 21: The Master Baker
On Sunday I shared 2 songs. On Tuesday I explored the meaning behind the first one. On Wednesday I wrote about how to move on from that place. So today, I’ll look a little at the second song. As a reminder, it’s called ‘Tryin” and is about not trying to be who others want youContinue reading “40 day challenge day 21: The Master Baker”
40 day challenge day 18: Do you love me?
It’s been a long and busy day, so only a short post. But a very apt post considering how much work I’ve fitted in… Like 10: 20 says ‘Do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.’ This is Jesus talking to his 72 followers. HeContinue reading “40 day challenge day 18: Do you love me?”
40 day challenge day 14: The more you give the more you get
I did an assembly today. I had roughly 15 minutes to explain the concept of God’s love to 5-8 year olds. We started talking about Easter (Jesus died, got put in a tomb and came back to life), the reason Jesus did that and then we finished with a very energetic song. Love working withContinue reading “40 day challenge day 14: The more you give the more you get”
40 day challenge day 12: the power of music
I am musically trained. I’ve been singing since I was 6, playing the piano since I was 7 and the clarinet since I was 10 (ish), and along the way I have dabbled with the organ, the accordian, the recorder (as in, more than just school level) and I own a violin and a guitar.Continue reading “40 day challenge day 12: the power of music”
Life… finds a way
Any Jurassic Park fans out there? This quote, from the very first film way back in 1993, shows Dr Malcolm’s cynicism at the scientists being able to control the dinosaur population. It is his suggestion that, despite all the measures they have put in place life isn’t meant to be contained and controlled in suchContinue reading “Life… finds a way”
