On top of the world looking down on creation

When you were at school did you get asked to remember that how each one of us behaved, showed the world what our school was like? I remember thinking this was quite wrong really, and also resented as the oldest of three, the assumption that discrepancy I might have, would be instantly mimicked by my two […]

Bridget Jones meets Jesus…

I heard an interview with Helen Fielding recently, who was herself shocked to see on the BBC news one evening, an announcement that Mark Darcy had died, shortly after an update from Syria. In her latest novel, ( which I’ve not yet read), she apparently kills off the leading man, who captures Bridget’s heart in […]

Peace be with you

Do you struggle to give things up for Lent? Me too! I find it easier to commit to new practices such as reading my bible than trying to go without chocolate wine or chips! I’ve got a book called bible study for busy women and normally I’ve read it before bed or to start the […]

Stuck in a moment with U2

Originally posted on Mental health jukebox:
Stuck in a Moment – U2 First: a disclaimer. I am not a huge U2 fan. I quite like them; they’ve certainly made some great songs. For some indie fans, ‘Bono’ is now shorthand for ‘pompous-naff-rock-idiot’. Granted, I am always suspicious of anyone who regularly wears sunglasses indoors –…

Bye Vick

I am really conscious at the moment, that I am truly blessed to be a member of a church congregation. I’ve started thinking seriously about training to be a vicar, and I couldn’t even contemplate this, if I didn’t belong to such a fantastic church family. Tomorrow is a big day in our church community, […]

Mummy you are a sister?

I had a lovely conversation with our oldest this morning, as we went into the hidden identity of grown-ups. It is possible for a grown-up to have formerly been a child, to be a brother or sister as well as a mummy or daddy and even for granny and grandpa to also be brothers and […]

2 more sleeps to go

It’s definitely getting closer, the excitement levels are rising, our oldest asked tonight, should we get the stockings out now, just in case, so they are ready? After a marathon couple of days of trips out, theatre and parties, today was slightly calmer and as a result he’s wide awake at 9pm! Hopefully on Christmas […]

Guest blog.. my lovely sister’s words….

The media coverage today of Nelson Mandela’s death has got me thinking about forgiveness. It is truly awe-inspiring and humbling to think that a man can go from being imprisoned by a brutal system because of his skin colour, and go on to shake hands with and forgive the architects of that very system, which […]

Happy Advent Everyone…

It’s count-down time, the advent calendar is out and we’ve started putting up lights and decorations in our house. I am looking at a pile of unwritten christmas cards, and working out who to send to this year, it seems to be a dying art, due to the cost of postage and how easy it […]

These Words

I’ve recently been lucky enough to participate in a coaching programme called “springboard”. It’s a programme for women and has been really great to be part of. Lots of us on it from different walks of life, all trying to keep our heads above water, and learning from each other about different things we find […]
