The Past, Present, Future
Whether we’re saying, “I hate this,” or “I can’t wait,” the truth is the same. God is already there. And that makes new beginnings not just something to survive, but something to step into with hope.
We're all in 'The Club'
Yesterday was International Left-Handers Day, today is A-Level Results Day. A left turn, can still lead to the right destination.
Are we living lightly enough?
Have we left room for The Kingdom? We don’t have to strive, we don’t have to store up. Calvary is enough.

There's Room for Both
The spontaneous sigh towards heaven and the carefully crafted liturgy. The 2am outpouring and the service book handed down through generations. There's room for both.
The Church Has Never Stood Still
From Henley Festival to Cliff College via Chesterfield. It's been a bit 'full on'. But the 'God moments' just keep coming. Oh, and I 'flicked through' John Wesley's Prayer Book...and saw a crooked spire.

This quiet revival isn’t just a statistic. It’s a movement of the Spirit. And each of us has a part to play.
I was creative, but...
My service themed around patience went well. Is there any such thing as a perfect formula for such things? No.
Saint Thomas Day
Thomas. The risk-taker, the challenger, the brave. It was Thomas who said "My Lord and my God!".
Be Creative. OK, erm...
Writer's block is definitely a 'thing'. Overcoming the same when crafting a whole service and creating a portfolio...urgh.
DOV2 Portfolio Workshop
Great to catch up with some familiar faces, the time between now and submission is going to fly! Attending the workshop; another gift.
The Advisory Panel Outcome
It's time to cross.
