This is genius, from the genius film Juno and the even more genius soundtrack to the film. And if you think that’s overuse of the word genius I don’t care.

Jesus died.
Jesus did what dead men don’t do and rose.
Jesus will come again.
That makes most things make sense. (kinda weird eh.)

I’m not sure how the disciples of Jesus felt the day after they’d seen their Lord, Master and friend crucified on a cross. I’m not sure whether they would have remembered his talk of rising again in the pain of their grief. I’m not sure if they wondered what on earth it was all about [...]

My song is love unknown,
My Savior’s love to me;
Love to the loveless shown,
That they might lovely be.
O who am I? That for my sake
My Lord should take frail flesh, and die?
Sometimes they strew His way,
And His sweet praises sing;
Resounding all the day
Hosannas to their King:
Then “Crucify!” Is all their breath,
And for His death they thirst and cry.
They [...]
Have I done enough?

I guess this is a question we ask a lot in life. “Have I done enough?” I ask it of the work I do, we ask it throughout any Christian ministry or service we undertake. “Have I done enough?”.
I wonder why we ask the question, whether it’s born out of wanting to prove to either [...]

Today was about remembering, but also about lots of fun, we went to Middle Farm and saw lambs, piglets, ducks, calves, cows, chickens, lamas and best of all broody hens with their chickens tucked away under their feathers. Mm. Cute. This was our favourite. The ones we saw weren’t as posh as this one, but [...]

Today I sat at a table with my Relay Workers. We chatted, we read this, and we talked about the immensity of the Thursday that Jesus faced 2000 years ago. The Thursday where he took the Passover meal and made it about so much more. The Thursday where he told his disciples of a body [...]
Actual Friendship

One of the things to swirl around my brain at the weekend was the genius nature of actual gospel friendship. That sounds like a very jargonified thing. But, what I mean by that is friendship that is based on the fundamental unvarnished truth about each other. Friendship that allows for each other to mess up [...]

Treats that have made me smile, think, ponder, be delighted and made me cry over the last week:
1.Total Church. If you haven’t read it, read it now. Go on. NOW. Read it? Good, now face the challenge. It says things like this:
“I am not autonomous. I am person-in-community. I cannot be who I am without [...]
