severing the ties
Earlier this week Stew the Rabbit and I took some assemblies in a local primary school. It was our last visit. Stew had decided that he wanted to perform a magic trick and had come across a trick where it looks like you have cut someone’s tie in half and then restore it. So he…

blessed by a song
I heard this song recently and I was inspired by it. It could be the theme tune for this blog! Bring heaven to earth, Lord, Bring peace where there’s fear; Bring life where there’s death, Lord, Bring joy in these tears.

the even older joke I almost included in this week’s sermon
A little girl was drawing. Her dad came up and tried to work out what it was she was drawing, but he couldn’t find anything familiar in the series of swirls, shapes and squiggles. “What are you doing?” he asked. “I’m drawing a picture, daddy” was the factually accurate response. “What are you drawing a…
