Dear loyal Bloggist, Thank you for bearing with me during my recent cold. I am sorry that the inspiration levels were low, but mucous and phlegm have that effect on me. But now my nose has stopped training for a marathon and my throat has decided that it’s perhaps alright to breathe and swallow without…

blerggh
Still feeling grotty today. Inspiration is at a low ebb and it feels like I am trying to think through custard. If that last simile is not proof enough of my lack of creativity or coherence I don’t know what is! So I will simply offer you a thought – whether a glass is half…

the weather is above me
Why do we describe someone who is unwell as ‘under the weather’? Are we ever above the weather? We may be ‘on top of the world’ I suppose… Anyway, there was no blog today because I am feeling unwell. Sorry.

running commentary
I have been reflecting on Eric Liddell. His story is best known from the film Chariots of Fire which I am sure we will see a lot of in the lead up to London 2012. He was a strong believer in Jesus and believed that competing in the Olympics on a Sunday was dishonouring to God.…

Here in my car…
As I was driving to church yesterday I glanced in my rear-view mirror (I do that occasionally to see what mayhem I have caused) and noticed that the man behind me was busy eating a doughnut as he drove along. His insurance claim form would have been interesting if he had crashed. This morning I…

communion prayer
Loving God, we give you thanks for all your gifts. In love you gave us Jesus your Son to rescue us from sin and death. To the darkness Jesus came as your light. With signs of faith and words of hope he touched untouchables with love and washed the guilty clean. This is his story.…

kneeling
I have hurt my knee. I slipped down a step and it feels like I strained the ligaments behind the knee. I am not telling you this for sympathy, but because it is the sort of injury that I can forget for a while until I move my leg in a direction that makes me wince. It…
