In the interests of wrapping up this year, here are some moments of my 2008, it’s been a weird year, so much change, which I’m still attempting to work through in my head, but there have been some beautiful moments within the strangeness. Here are a few:

I’ve been re-reading my old Christmas blog posts (it’s Christmas eve in the office ok, there is nothing else to do..). It’s been a tour down memory lane, of remembering things that once were, good times had and all the ways God uses this time of year to step into my hard stubborn old heart and soften me to [...]
More Christmas beauty.

This morning I got up at silly o clock, cycled to the station admiring the pretty sunrise and headed to London to talk to some women at breakfast about Advent.

As some of my more committed readers will know this is the time of year I get a bit obsessed with Advent. I’m a sucker for the whole pondering the wonder of the Author of creation coming to earth as a small tiny baby. Having spent all day on Saturday holding one of these tiny [...]
