  • pacing

    How do you feel when you are driving along a single carriageway road and someone in front of you is driving way below the speed limit and slower than is necessary in the prevailing weather conditions? It is one of the things I find irritating when I am driving (but am praying for patience to…

  • 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…

  • yes we’re better together

    In a matter of days the people of Scotland will be voting in a referendum to decide whether or not they want to remain part of the United Kingdom. I have my own view on this but I don’t get a vote (as a sasanach) so this bloggage is not about my opinion. It’s about…

  • risky business

    Recently for several different reasons I have been thinking about (and carrying out) risk assessments. In principle it’s a brilliant idea. The ones I have completed required me to assess the likelihood of the risk of harm on a scale of 1-4 and the severity of any possible harm on a scale of 1-4, and…

  • it starts with desire

    None of us is perfect. Nobody, no matter how great they are or what they have achieved, is the finished article. I am being inspired at the moment by reading about Group Captain Lord Cheshire of Woodhall, VC, OM, DSO, DFC. By any measure he was an astonishing man as all of his titles and…

  • startling news about God – we are better than him

    Ahem* [Loud Fanfare] Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce the amazing, astounding, awesome list of things that we humans are better at than God. Yes, you did read that right. This is the amazing, astounding, awesome list of things that we humans are better at than God. Remembering. God says that if we…

  • nick’s names

    When I was very little I was a massive fan of the Magic Roundabout. I was particularly interested in Dougal, the dog. When the Magic Roundabout was on TV (in the slot just before the evening news I think) apparently I used to crawl around and around like Dougal – always on the move. I…

  • welcome cards

    We have some new welcome cards that have been designed for our church by a wonderfully creative and talented young lady (thank you Sara). When you look at them at first they look like this: When you open up the ‘lcome’ flap it looks like this: I think they are really clever, look bright and…

  • priceless

    These cufflinks were a wedding anniversary gift to me from my wonderful wife, Sally: 25 years!!! You may be able to see that they are made from the internal workings of vintage watches. The watches no longer tick, but you can see cogs, wheels and other tiny gubbins (a technical term). I think they are…

  • re-happying church

    Is ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams the ultimate feelgood song? It first came to prominence in one of my favourite films: Despicable Me 2 and then seemed to be everywhere. I heard it again on the radio a bit earlier today. Here are the lyrics for the chorus: Because I’m happy Clap along if you feel…
