Relistening to Fourth Wing on audible. I’ve restarted my subscription so I can enjoy the dramatised versions! I’ve forgotten the joy of putting earphone in and have the movie play out in my mind….

Last summer I visited RSPB Bempton Cliffs and saw gannets flying and raising their young Gugas. Today I found this petition about how these young birds, the only chick these birds raise will be killed in the name of tradition. #birds petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE...

I’m leading a harvest festival tomorrow. God has spoken and the theme has changed to returning to God and how he can restore… So my worship leading friends. On harvest do you preach about ‘harvest’ or a stand alone sermon with harvest hymns etc…. 🤯

I had the joy of watching a heron the other day. The lakes were so so low. It was hard to watch the water birds amongst dry cracked ground…

When I pray for rest, spraining my ankle isn’t what I meant. I went to @methodist.org.uk DOV2 panel and break myself. God has a funny way of answering prayers 🙏

Oh absolutely. It’s not quiet and more is it the space for quiet contemplation. I often think of brother Lawrence who found God and worship at the kitchen sink.

Sabbath shouldn’t mean a Sunday. As a wife a mother and preacher I rarely have “a day off” however time with my family is rarely work. Instead I find it is a rock and grounds me the world is noisy and overwhelming.

Well I’ve been quiet I completed Dov 2 in the @methodist.org.uk. I had prayed for rest as I await the outcome…. A bad sprain is not what I had in mind 🤕

Potentially. Rita is now in a home. Membership is small and you know how it takes a lot to keep a church going with ageing members or isn’t easy xx

Equally hospitality is part of us expressing faith. Knowing your congregation is also expressing faith love and respect.
