Colossians 4 v 3 & 4
“And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the message of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly as I should.”
We have been entrusted with a message to share, and we need [...]

Psalm 100
Shout for joy to the LORD,
all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of
his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving

name.

Hebrews 12 v 1&2
” …let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.Let us fix our eyes on Jesus…”
Any verses that use ‘running’ or ‘race’ analogies tend to make an impact on me at present as I have 13 miles to complete in 6 days time…aargh!

Indeed, he who watches over Israel

The LORD watches over you
the LORD is your shade [...]

A new year dawns ripe with expectation - what will these months unfold I wonder? Yesterday was my birthday so the idea is that I am older and wiser (not yet in my prime dad says!) although sometimes I just feel fatter and greyer!! It’s been lovely to share it with family and today I [...]

I’ve been thinking about new year’s resolutions as 2007 draws to a close, but I want to reflect on the past twelve months before I blog about what I want to achieve in 2008. This morning I was thinking about Mary and how she pondered the events surrounding Jesus’ birth, and then later when he [...]

Will you come and see the light from the stable door?
It is shining very bright though it shone before.
It will be your guiding star, it will show you who you are.
Will you hide or decide to meet the light?
Will you step into the light that can free the slave?
It will stand for what is right, [...]

Yep, it was the Christmas play yesterday and this year Long Ridings’ theatrical production was ‘The Hoity Toity Angel!’ Having narrated for ‘The Grumpy Donkey’ - Sawyers’ play for our mums & tots - in the morning I was definitely in the mood. Noah had graduated from mouse (his role in last year’s “Hopeless Camel”) [...]
