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

Posted on Wed, 21 Oct 2015

I liked this too, though I also thought you might think of a  stronger climax line. The last but one seems to balance the third - disjointedness and then your world coming together, presumably a sense of things making sense, fitting together,...

You seem to have captured

Posted on Mon, 12 Oct 2015

You seem to have captured something of that strange feeling of convalesence (salt on the arm!), when the mind (and body) is not working quite normally yet (slight temperature still, perhaps), and trying to come to terms with life again. The sight...

So important, those last two
