A webring!

For some time now I've been occasionally looking at RevGalBlogPals - a website for women preachers & their friends to share blogs and thoughts about preaching.
To join the ring I have to post an ad on the site...it's very good (I don't have to say that bit!).

Spring IS coming!

I love to dip into Revgalblogpals, and though I don't usually 'play' at the Friday five questions, I thought that with no sermon to do I would, for a change: Sally writes: Candlemass is past, and Christmas is well and truly over, here in the UK February looks set to be its usual grey and cold self. Signs of spring are yet to emerge; if like me you long for them perhaps you need ways to get through these long dark days. So lets share a few tips for a cold and rainy/ snowy day.... 1. Exercise, what do you do if you can't face getting out into the cold and damp? I do find it therapeutic to clean the house vigourously - but if you could see the dust you'd know I don't often get round to it! I also make a point of always running, rather than walking, upstairs - something my mum always did until her stroke. 2. Food; time to comfort eat, or time to prepare your body for the coming spring/summer? I try to eat healthily, but my body craves carbohydrate. 3. Brainpower; do...

Judging.

Amos 7: 7-15;   Mark 6: 14-29 To be honest, I’ve had a bit of a hectic week since returning from URC General Assembly late on Monday night; involving a church path, a funeral, 2 more funerals to organize, and many more things you don’t need to know about. What I really needed was a break after Assembly – which was hard work and faced the URC with some tough choices about budget cuts and how to find God’s way forward. Of course the general Synod of the Church of England was no picnic, either – and I know Methodist Conference had a hairy time, too. I’m left feeling that Church politics is bad for your health. And anyway, the Gospel reading seems a bit gory and unnecessary and I’m tired and ready for a holiday. So I was all ready to preach about Amos and plumblines & how God helps us to sort our lives out by showing us what is good and true and straight. In any case I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels uncomfortable with the idea of a God who judges you – or will ...

Asking the wrong questions... Jesus is the bread of life

  Exodus 16: 2-4, 9-15     John 6: 24-35 I’m sure we have all been struggling with our reactions to the story of the attack on a children’s dance class in Southport this week, and the death of three young girls - Bebe, Elsie and Alice.   We know a 17 year old boy has been arrested. We’re told that he moved to the Northwest from Cardiff, and that his parents were from Rwanda. Stories are emerging that this lad had communication issues and is living with an autism disorder.    But we are left with so many questions, including: -         What can make a young man want to attack children in this way? -         How can we keep children safe in future ? -         Why do terrible things like this happen to innocent children?       And some have turned to violence – attacking the mosque in Southport, rioting in central London, and a...
