  • Jesus is missing

    I hope that you are well and in good heart as you navigate through the maelstrom of Christmas events. I hope and pray that in the midst of it all you are finding Jesus… which leads me neatly to my theme: Have you seen this news story on the BBC news website? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-46599641?utm_source=Daily+Media+Digest&utm_campaign=4223aabbb0-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_12_03_10_54_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_296e14724b-4223aabbb0-248620461&fbclid=IwAR2rgNGteYRlZ7vzkbhmnrM9m5nmIiM_DpmnUvHr-G9YkvdRYbzk_ooqC_w   If…

  • marking your card(s)

    Earlier this week I was a bit flummoxed by the arrival of a Christmas card in the post. No, there’s nothing unusual about Christmas cards being delivered through the UK postal system. What flummoxed me was that I did not recognise one of the names on the card and the other signature was illegible so…

  • seeing the light

    Last week the Regional Team of which I am a part was on retreat for 24 hours. As a part of this process we were invited to share some thoughts on the theme of ‘Light’. I went for Psalm 36:9 – “For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.”…

  • do less, be more (last one)

    So far I have been exploring Mark 1:35-39 but towards the end of Psalm 46 we read these familiar words:“Be still, and know that I am God” The words come after the psalmist has mentioned how God helps us in the midst of raging torrents; mountain-shattering earthquakes; international turmoil and wars. “Be still, and know that…

  • do less, be more (once again)

    Mark 1:35-39 is the passage this is based on. Imagine for a moment that ten new people start coming to your church after an outreach activity. Wow! And they start telling their friends about Jesus and they start coming along too. Yay! And before we know it there is not enough room in the church…

  • do less, be more (continued further)

    (Remember that we’re looking at Mark 1:35-39 which you can find here) Last time I wrote about ways that we can enhance and deepen our prayer life in order to do less and be more. I want to commend all of those things to you, but I also want to undermine what I wrote by…

  • do less, be more (continued)

    Carrying on from the last bloggage, I am exploring Mark 1:35-39 A summary of what happened is that Jesus seems to have found himself a good place and time. Jesus went off to a place with few distractions where he was unlikely to be interrupted. He went very early because he knew the rest of…

  • making up for lost time

    Gosh, was it nearly a month ago that I last posted a bloggage? That’s not good. I am surprised any of you are still interested! By way of apology I will put some posts up over the next week or so that are based on my reflections on a passage from the Bible on which…

  • a bath with the plug missing

    I am like a bath with the plug missing. Last month (my first month back at work full time) I was busy. Too busy. One of the indicators of how busy I am is how few blog posts I write. That’s a problem because the bloggages are based on my musings and reflections and if…

  • What to do when someone else’s world feels like it is falling apart

    One of the greatest privileges in life is to be with people in the moments when their world feels like it is falling apart. Simply by you being present reassures people that they are still loved despite what has happened. They don’t need many words or answers to questions. They don’t need flowers or cards.…
