Found some friends and good times out at Queen Elizabeth Country park today. Beautiful sunshine and amazing assault course for the not so small ones. All exhausted now! #sunnysaturday #friends #blueskies #queenelizabethcountrypark #sleepnowTook the sad processing big emotion boy on my walk this morning. Ever hopeful that the joy of early morning freshness and wonder at bunnies and squirrels and the smells of spring will lodge deep in his soul and help him as he walks through this life. Also lovely to have chats without the shouting as we meandered around the green green world. #happyfriday #beauty #nourishment #joy #chats #parentingBeautiful child free morning out to celebrate another year of my favourite and best. Also had our first meal out since September. Ahhhhh. Happy joy all round. Happy Birthday to the brilliant Husbandface. #birthday #fun #joy #happy #dayoffIt’s a three cup of tea book reading afternoon around here. After a morning outside I feel less bad that the boys have been entertained by audio books, a film and the convenient arrival of a long anticipated computer game. It’s a good book :) #reading #tea #outsourcedparentingAnd in the midst of exhausted plodding on there are mornings of sunrise, light on the green growth going on in our woods, hope dancing on the horizon, resurrection happening over and over again in this beautiful world. #tired #joy #exhausted #smiling #weary #hope #resurrectionEaster Monday feels like a quiet space to let the full on Easter weekend sink in. Preaching yesterday felt like tearing off pieces of my soul and offering them to people in hope that the Spirit would work. Today I sit and rest, drink tea, hear the living One who comes to our places of death and calls our name. And breathe. #rest #dayoff #sabbath #hope #known #quiet #resurrectionArchives

Pause for breath…
It’s 2013 and as I can cope with about the next 5 minutes at the moment it’s been hard to write anything here. It’s a weird world this place of new parenthood. It’s an unbelievably hard world and it’s a … Continue reading
Psalm 111
Read Psalm 111 here. I find it very easy for my mind to slip through this Psalm without it stopping at any connecting points. As I skim down the passage my brain takes in the big concepts with almost too … Continue reading
What Jesus did next..
After Jesus was tempted and resisted the devil’s attempts to sabotage his life he headed off towards the cross. It took him just over three years of walking around Isreal and the surrounding areas to get there, but, then again, … Continue reading
How did we end up here?
I’ve started to notice a problem in how I view God and in how I relate to him along this journey. There seems to be two gods knocking around. There is the God who loves us, who calls us, who … Continue reading
Psalm 107
Yes, it’s another Psalm, about you guessed it, the love of our God. My head is tempted to skip to another topic, to redress the balance with some fire and brimstone talk. (I’m not sure why, I’ve never been much … Continue reading

Independence
At Church in the Pub last night we looked at the subject of independence. Kind of interesting to bat around questions of what being independent is all about. There was a firm sense that dependence wasn’t such a great thing but … Continue reading
