In August Rob and I made a flying visit to Edinburg to do some “work” at the fringe with the Methodist church. Our job was to pay attention! A simple task. Well! If you have been to the fringe you will know it is an assault on the senses. Posters, flyers, people, entertainment, jugglers, comedians, musicals, giveaways, noise and so …
Finding God in the Horizontal
I find myself taking a lot of photos of the beach, the Sea and the sky. I like the horizontal lines, and I like them to have order. Sea and sky meet in the middle of the photos as a central horizonal divide. If the beach is involved, then I like things in thirds – thank you very much. Which …
How You Doing?
Now if you have watched Friends you will know that Joey’s chat upline is the title of this blog. And if you do know how Joey says “How you doing?” your brain may have just read the tile using Joey’s voice and if not you may have just it now haha. So where are we going with this weeks blog, …

Figuring it out.

Let’s talk about the Maccabees!
I read this chapter and thought it was a bit unfair for me to go through all Pete unpacks and then not be there to join in the discussion (I am at a wedding). If you have read the chapter you will know it is focussed on the resurrection and how this event caused the gospel writers and even more …
