Body parts…
Today’s lectionary reading continues the passage from 1 Corinthians 12, where Paul tells the Corinthians about the gifts we are given and how we are knit together. No one is any more important than the other. “and those members of the body that we think less honourable we clothe with greater honour, and our lessContinue reading “Body parts…”
Gifts…
I watched the first Tinkerbell movie last night with my girls… I was struck by the opening seen where Tinkerbell has to find her gift, what her talent is. She looks at the people and judges them by appearance and walks past the hammer which is for the tinker fairies… She does not want thisContinue reading “Gifts…”

We have all heard at some point in our life that we are worthless, and weContinue reading “Good work…”
Slow fade…
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wickedContinue reading “Slow fade…”
Going away…
Have you ever had to say goodbye to someone? Have you ever moved away and knew it would be a while before you would see the people you had grown to love and build friendships with, if you would ever see them again? It is hard. Terribly hard. It is a time of sadness andContinue reading “Going away…”
