do the hokey votey: in, out, or shake it all about?
It was an election day yesterday. I had the opportunity to put my kiss* on a piece of paper to declare my democratic love for a local council candidate and some candidates for the European Parliament. I was surprised when I was handed the ballot paper for the European Parliament to see just how long it was.…

return of the dead guy
A long time ago in a parallel Universe far, far away (known as my brain) I came up with an idea. What if Lazarus had met a publicist after he had been brought back from the dead by Jesus? The following sketch was the result… (I have changed the name of the publicist since the…

But we had hoped…
Regular bloggists among you will know that occasionally something strikes me while I am preparing for a sermon and I will share it here as a kind of sneak preview as God is shaping what I say. Today I want to go back to what I shared last Sunday morning. We were looking at the…

tickly coughs
I have a tickly cough. The back of my throat gets irritated/tickled and it causes a cough reflex to try to get rid of the sensation. It’s irritating. It’s not debilitating. It’s not desperately uncomfortable. It won’t require a trip to the hospital or even the doctor. And I have some medicine to soothe and…

risk
Oooh, isn’t it interesting what ignites people’s interest? The mention of something topical and a bit controversial in the blog title yesterday caused a surge in views. The letter in the Daily Telegraph from 50 high profile people complaining about our Prime Minister describing the country as ‘Christian’ made headline news. (I was interested in the…

blind criticism
Recently I watched an interview with Russell Crowe, who was asked about his film Noah. He said that he had received criticism for it – mainly from people who had not actually seen the film. That approach really annoys me. Why is it that people (Christians especially) are willing to criticise, condemn, attack and even…

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. I didn’t know what would happen when I clicked on a button! And that’s what I was blogging about, ironically. I wrote bloggage about how I didn’t…
