Just enough hair for a tiny vertical ponytail on top of her head. Walking around the house in wellies (thinking: I can put these on myself – ready to...

Gathered people of God

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] Last Sunday was Pentecost Sunday, regarded as the birthday of Christ Jesus’ church (‘church’ referring to the gathered people of God, not the building) Tired of godlessness and spite, longing for the place of light, …

Journeying over the gulf

Can I go back? Can we heal the rift? … so far a journey, a gulf so wide

Wall Decoration

Red brick wall, patch of crumbling mortar: roots take hold, space fills so greenery, sprinkled with pointed bells of blue campanula spills over:...

I don't understand it all,

Posted on Wed, 07 Sep 2016

I don't understand it all, but it doesn't seem to be a picture of the caring God we meet in the Bible, and came to earth with an answer for our sweat and fetters that we have made for ourselves, both now and fulness to come. What the fool...

Describing well temptation's

Posted on Tue, 30 Aug 2016

Describing well temptation's voice and the confusing reasoning and depression induced. Showing so clearly the need of a good friend at one's side to help if the cycle is really to be broken, and of course the Holy Spirit's help can make such a...

Clever little parable of the

Posted on Thu, 25 Aug 2016

Clever little parable of the importance of each contributing, each needing each other, as the Bible teaches in1 Corinthians 12 about the church (people, believers, not the building!) being the body of Christ, eg if the foot should say, "...

Got the calypso rhythm

Posted on Thu, 25 Aug 2016

Got the calypso rhythm somehow, Linda! I liked the way you showed the forced rhythm - a bit like I had to do in my limericks. I hope there is a lot of safe enjoyment of the music, in playing, hearing and (gentle!) shaking, and laughter and...

Posted on Wed, 17 Aug 2016

Posted on Mon, 08 Aug 2016

A humourous teasing of the tourists getting London 'done'! with thought to the broken dreams of others. I remember being shown tourists landing in Scotland from a cruise ship when I was young, and being told they were coming to do Scotland in a...

So many 'grand schemes' seem

Posted on Wed, 27 Jul 2016

So many 'grand schemes' seem to become white (or grey) elephants. I suppose the post-war renovation was in haste, and also maybe it was rebuilding the community spirit that needed attention too. 'Better builds' can so easily become the...

Posted on Sun, 17 Jul 2016

I can't do much reading on here on a Sunday, Penny, but I saw this when posting my weekly hymn, and just had a look, and could picture the memories and imagination of childhood wonder and timelessness of day and darkness. Last but one line, I...
