C3H5N3O9*
Today two of my Christian siblings are meeting for the first time. They are people who are unashamed of their faith and whose faith clearly makes a difference to how they live, how they treat others and how they are perceived by others. Everyone I know who knows who these people are speaks highly of…

April Fools
What is the essence of a good April Fool’s Day prank? I suppose that first of all it has to be plausible. There’s no point in trying to persuade people that you saw just a flying elephant (unless you are watching Disney’s ‘Dumbo’). Secondly I think it has to be enticing. The premise of the…

em-fassis
No, you aren’t experiencing some sort of strange cyber double vision. The image in this bloggage* is the category cloud from the blog. I try to tag most of my bloggages. Apparently it makes it easier for people to find me. But it also reveals, through this clever cloud thingy, the emphases in my reflections.…

Today’s bloggage, hopefully…
Okay, sorry about the glitch – I accidentally deleted the content just after I had posted it. Sorry if you are getting loads of notifications that don’t work.

power to the people?
In an era when we are all acutely conscious of the cost of gas and electricity, and Power Companies are replacing Banks as Public Enemy Number One in the media-led vilification stakes, two thoughts occur to me. One is to ask myself how I would feel if I was working for one of these institutions…

danger
The internet is a dangerous place. Not because of the scams that are out to ensnare the unwary, the pornography that seems to be everywhere, the emails that offer medical assistance or opportunities to receive millions of pounds from complete strangers if I give them my bank details. Although those (and others) do make the…

an open letter to churches
Dear Church First of all, let me say how brilliant you are. You are one of God’s best ideas (and he has had some awesome ones). Jesus had you in mind when he was walking and talking around Judea and you came into being at the most momentous moment in human history: born in the…

count me in
It seems that this is my 900th bloggage. That’s 900 separate posts – probably the best part of 500,000 words with 526 different subject categories and 814 tags spread over just 10 pages. Amazingly I have only used 10% of my space allocation on WordPress. There have been 319 approved comments and I have been…
