  • corny joke

    I hope that you had a good Christmas. I hope that you found what you were hoping for – not just in a stocking, pillow case or under a tree, but in the friendships, family relationships and your relationship with God. A man went on a camping trip with his wife. He had been left…

  • is that for me?

    A few days ago I was preparing to phone someone who has been going through a very difficult time. Just before I spoke to them I had a look at an app on my mobile phone that pings me a verse from the Bible each day. It seemed quite appropriate for the conversation I was…

  • recycling

    I think we mostly agree that recycling is a good thing. It saves resources and reduces wastage. We may find it a hassle when we have to sort out our cardboard and paper from our plastics from our tins from our bottles from our garden waste from our food waste from our non-recyclables but on…

  • fashion advice from my socks

    Yes, I have started to take fashion advice from my socks. Before you invite the men in white coats to come around let me explain. When my wife, Sally, is around I will sometimes invite her to tell me if, for example, my tie goes with my shirt or a shirt is okay with my…

  • Eeekmail

    So today I resume my duties and also end my cyber fast. I have 400+ emails waiting for me. That’s a lot of e-correspondence to deal with. When correspondence was only delivered by post men, post women or pigeons there would not have been 400 letters waiting for me after 2 weeks away. I’d never…

  • who do you want to see?

    Responses to yesterday (if you don’t know it, it may help you to read yesterday’s bloggage before you carry on) were a bit interesting. After telling our church that I have been called to a new role there was a stunned silence. I could see on people’s faces that they were a bit surprised / shocked…

  • panning for gold

    A long time ago in a theme park far far away (relatively speaking: it fits best with the Star Wars-esque intro) our children took part in an activity to pan for gold. Little ‘gold’ nuggets were mixed in with sand and gravel and (for a fee) children could dig up some sand and put it…

  • epiphany

    I had an epiphany this morning but it’s okay, I’ve got some tablets for it. No, seriously (and yes I can be), I had an epiphany – a sudden message from God that stopped me in my tracks. The passage of the Bible I read this morning* was one that I have read many times…

  • God knows

    “I know your heart. I know what you hide in the dark recesses. I know the burdens you carry. And I love you. My grace is sufficient for you. I know your heart. I know your desire to serve, to bless, to follow and to lead. And I love you. My grace is sufficient for you.”…

  • where there is a misquote the sermons flourish

    “Without a vision the people perish.” How many times have you heard that quoted (from the Bible – Proverbs 29:18) in order to support the introduction of or need for a vision / mission statement? I have heard so many sermons on that theme that I am almost willing to submit to them since that…
