It is with great sadness that we hear of the death of His Holiness Pope Francis this morning.

Today & always, I’m deeply grateful for the incredible women in my life—those who are role models, those who love me, challeng me, guide me, encourage me, and push me to grow. You’ve shared in my laughter & my tears, raised a glass with me, & broken bread with me. I love you all ❤️

Preaching tomorrow at a lovely Church in St David’s diocese. I’m talking about hope, eternal hope, and this evening the GWM and I watched “A Boy called Christmas” where it states, despite pain & disappointment, that “Hope is alive!”. I couldn’t agree more #Hope

My first bluesky post is of a gorgeous blue sky where I often walk our doggo in beautiful South Wales, UK.
Hoping the good folk on here will help dispel the lingering bad taste left by the other place…#Hope
