Jesus And The Building Project

What follows are some thoughts motivated by further contemplation of this morning’s reference to Jesus being the Temple.  ~(Thanks also to Alan for his insightful blog on the issue from another perspective.) I don’t think the irony could be anymore apt than seeing the real temple of the Living God singing a song about devoting […]

Origins

This may come as a shock and a surprise to you, but I can often be found thinking about things. (Yeah, there you go for the shock of the day – take your time in recovering from that.)  As in contemplating them and pondering and wondering. For example today I was minding my own business […]

In The Beginning

I love my daughters.  One of the things I love doing is sharing with them a little story before they pray and go to sleep.  I don’t always read from a book, sometimes I enjoy making up stories for them to get involved with and engage with.  Deborah as the oldest is getting into them […]

Father God

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

Just Free-Blogging

Yeah there’s the Jesus stuff which is very important to me.  There is the church stuff, which is also very important.  There are the ideas that knock around my head on other issues to talk about (for example I’m thinking about a series on All My Working Life).  Yet from time to time it’s just […]
