#adventword #counsel
"Blessed is the one who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; (...) She is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither."
Psalm 1

#adventword #heed
As part of my ordination training I'm currently writing a doctrine essay on this piece of art, from a chapel only a few miles from where I live. The dance macabre calls it's viewers to heed their mortality.

#adventword #day
It's been a lovely, interesting, long, exhausting, and blessed day of study, reflection and conversations at vicar school. I'm so privileged to get to do this!

#adventword #gratify
One of the most gratifying moments: arriving at the seaside and walking barefeet through perfectly smooth sand, smelling the salty air, hearing the seagulls, feeling the sun and the soft breeze

#adventword #reveling
I'm reveling in the fact that my kids can cook and occasionally do so. For example, burger nights put on by my 11 year old are an absolute family favourite!

#adventword #tribes
Memories of a rainy, yet lovely summer's day meeting up with family from various places to go for a walk, share a picnic, and enjoy each other's company (particularly that of the toddlers present!)

Following the advice of an experienced minister, I held these conkers tightly in my hand as I #said a prayer at a newborn's funeral. Twas a difficult, but also somehow beautiful day.

#adventword #again
This will be my view tomorrow morning again, just like every weekday morning.
I cherish this time of sorting out the kitchen from the night before, listening to a theology book, scribbling down some notes, and enjoying myself.

Dreaming of summer days at the beach.
The theme for this week's #blueskyartshow is #warmth

Just two more sleeps and then it's advent! This will be my 8th year taking part in #adventword (run by Foreward Movement of the Episcopal Church)
I'm so glad this social media tradition exists. Some years, this was the only practice that made advent meaningful for me.

This was a lovely warm summer evening in the gorgeous Bavarian Alps.

My parents-in-law's house... Love the angles (but got one a bit wrong in this sketch... Well, never mind!)
