It's holiday season, guys I know because I was in a garden centre looking at decorations listening to a male (senior in years) quartet sing 50s tunes, whilst sipping on a mulled cider. I did say holiday for a reason, no I am not shunning my Christian roots. Yes it's Christmas. But it's also about … Continue reading Hallelujah: Can I have some Peace with those peas

Let’s change the narrative
This is typical of me-I am about to blog my thoughts on a topic I have not a huge depth of knowledge about but have had lots of conversations about, have shed tears over and felt utterly lost around the issue. Well kids what a fun start that is!! But yes, as clearly stated in … Continue reading Let’s change the narrative
Protect yourself
Feels like a strap line for contraception or a seat belt or maybe just a health checkup...if it isn't already then maybe I am better at this marketing malarkey than I knew. Move over #madmen its #madjen (doesn't quite have the same ring to it) Every now and again I have a bit of a … Continue reading Protect yourself
Weekend Away
So last weekend we went away with our church. It's a weekend with some teaching but also time to just get to know each other and truth be told I wasn't massively looking forward to it. We arrived tired and I was nervous about how I would find it, how Faith would get on-she's been … Continue reading Weekend Away
Grief is a bitch
I feel the need to just add a bit of an introduction to this post. I am not currently struggling with grief, well nothing recent. But in the last few weeks I have seen friends and family entangled by it through losing a loved one, a job, the ending of a dream/hope. Although I am … Continue reading Grief is a bitch
out loud
This is a post about speaking out your truth-which I actively encourage. However, it does come with some disclaimers: Check your context. Saying out loud that you have an alarming rash, is more than appropriate to a medical professional, and even fine to a friend you are seeking sympathy from...but to the postman for example, … Continue reading out loud
homecoming
I have missed this that sense of being settled, being at ease, being where I am supposed to be. I don't always instantly recognise you, but I know I am in good company, I feel free. Whether in a church hall, or a lounge or out for a walk in the woods...you calm my … Continue reading homecoming
Goodness Gracious
I am babysitting and I am trying not to eat all the chocolate...there is so much chocolate and good stuff in this house, damn babysitting and leaving out all the sweets. When we have babysitters I do the same thing but often hardly any of it gets touched-such self control is so impressive. I am … Continue reading Goodness Gracious
Raising Faith…
Faith is our daughter, and she is a little adventurer. We are also a couple who have a faith, which also feels like a little adventure. In terms of theology and doctrine-man alive we have a lot of questions and I love a good debate (Mike, not so much)but I am not going to go … Continue reading Raising Faith…
