Bring Me Sunshine
Most of Bring me Sunshine comes from my journal, thoughts and reflections from June 2021 while in lockdown, now I don’t know about how it was for you, but for me, well apart from the heartache of not being able to cuddle my daughter and my grandsons, I was enjoying the solitude. Let me set the scene, we live in…

Speak life
If I look back into the memories of childhood, of a 2 roomed, country, village school playground, I can still clearly see the girls playing the ‘skipping rope game’, so popular in the early 1950’s…. their dexterous movements, as they jump in and and out, individually and together… So skillful! What I also remember very clearly, is the chanting of…

June 1, 2021The Fun of Failure
Jesus wasn’t afraid of being ‘in process’. I once heard a preacher retelling the story of Jesus praying twice for the blind man in Mark 8 and joking: “if Jesus gets to take 2 tries at praying for healing, then I should get at least a dozen!” The good news of the gospel is that we know how the story ends! Jesus always has the final victory. When nothing happened, Jesus prayed again. When His friend Lazurus died, Jesus resurrected him. Yes Jesus went to the cross, but the grave couldn’t hold Him. Onlookers might look at the middle of the story and call it a failure: “Jesus messed up.” But, the truth is that with God a ‘failure’ is a victory in progress.
