  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • speech training

    I am not sure what provoked this memory, but over the last couple of days I have been reminded of the ‘speech training’ sessions we had when I was training to be a Minister. A lovely, patient, humour-laden, expert lady called Liz used to take us for sessions once a week to help us to…

  • I never knew there was so much in it

    There is a publication that tells us the times of TV programmes that had the title of this bloggage as its advertising strap-line. I regularly find myself saying something similar about the Bible. Yes, statistics tell us that there are 66 books, containing over 770,000 words (depending on translation) divided into just over 31,000 verses (to help…
