Faith
How is the weather in your soul?
I didn’t know I needed it until I had read it. But what a gift it was, and the 'weather in my soul' changed because of it.
Preaching
Happy Christmas!
What a gift; God has chosen to be here, in ordinary times amongst ordinary people in ordinary places.
Faith
God doesn't wait for space to be made.
God arrives in the middle of tired, stressed, ordinary, surviving, day-to-day lives. I love it.
Faith
What about the poor beautiful butterflies?
Anchored and free. Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Paul show the beauty of spiritual discipline.
Challenge
The Advent 'walk' might include a skip.
It’s okay to feel wonder and to be childlike and to say, “Christmas is coming". God’s not threatened by our joy. God’s the source of it.
Faith
Advent is not a dash down Oxford Street
It's a steady, deliberate, meaningful walk in the light of the Lord.
Services
If Jesus was coming tomorrow, how would you live today?
We know he's coming, because he said so...
Services
The 'Holy Gasp' of Psalm 8
I'm not sure Psalm 8 is a soft, wedding-day psalm but a psalm of awe, astonishment and surprise.
Candidating
Portfolio Reflections
It's been exhilarating and exasperating, testing, humbling and thought provoking; it has been a ‘significant piece of work’, probably the most significant piece of intentional work I have ever produced, but I think it accurately represents me.
Faith
Mission Week in The Western Dales; Christianity for Today.
Coming along to an event is as exciting as stepping on to a plane, and requires significantly less faith.
Candidating
Lights, camera, action...action...action.
Here I go...intense portfolio production, half term, an Open Day at Queen's Foundation, some chance encounters and some really special moments of Grace...

Holy Shift: Word Cloud Studio
As I look to be 'creative' for certain sections of my candidating portfolio I got a bit distracted and 'vibe coded' a very cool (I think!) word cloud generator.
