  • And relax

    I’m going to be enjoying a few days of leave now so no more bloggages this week (stop cheering!). I hope and pray that you will find refreshing activities or rest this week too. You’re worth it. Be blessed, be a blessing

  • Traffic

    So I am doing a lot of driving in my new role. And I quite enjoy it. Except for the things that interrupt my journey like roadworks, diversions, traffic jams and lorries. I do understand that roads need repairing or improvement; that sometimes you need to go around an incident; that people don’t break down…

  • a handy bloggage

    Hands are amazing aren’t they? We take them for granted don’t we? Think for a moment how much you have used your hands already today – even just to log on to whatever device you are using to read this bloggage – and then marvel at them. When you think about what we can do…

  • messiah moments

    I hope you had a good Christmas. How do you feel now? Stuffed to the gunwales? Surrounded by the debris of the day (we’ll clear it up later)? Satisfied? Sad? Lonely? From time to time I like to have ‘Messiah Moments’. No, not delusions of grandeur (and how deluded must you be to think you…

  • sisters are doing it for ourselves

    Two contrasting moments this week have led me to a reflection. The first is the appointment of the first female Bishop in the Church of England. My initial reaction? Woohoo! Then sadness that it is a newsworthy moment at all. Then disappointment that there is still a male majority in terms of ministers in the…

  • McChurch?

    So here I am, sitting in a well-known fast food restaurant, waiting for the lava-hot java coffee to cool enough for me to drink (that may give you a clue as to which Mc Restaurant I am in) and using their wifi. I am indulging in two of my favourite pastimes when I have time…

  • sentiments

    Isn’t it interesting how we attach significance to objects? When there is a story attached to them the objects seem to gain a greater significance than they would ordinarily merit – we call it sentimental value. This mug is a case in point. It was given to me by a good friend. That would make…

  • waiting

    I have an A Level in French. Just. I scraped an ‘E’ grade. If I am honest I don’t think my heart was in it, and I didn’t really put the effort in that I needed. It was a combined A Level – Language and Literature – and while I really enjoyed the literature aspect…

  • the effect of irritation

    I’d had enough. I couldn’t cope with it any more. I snapped. And with vouchers saved judiciously over several years I bought a new set of phone handsets for our home landline. The reason was that I was fed up with the regular bombardment of unsolicited phone calls — recorded and live – trying to get…

  • what does a free sample of Jesus look like?

    Regular bloggists among you will know that I often refer to Christians (and churches) as ‘free samples of Jesus’. It was pointed out to me today that I have never really said exactly what I mean by that, so this bloggage is an attempt to rectify that… In essence what I mean is that as…
