Well. I have done it. I shall make it my Lent 2025- Lent 2036 gentle unfolding project. I have never read it before but @malcolmguite.bsky.social, after so many many mentions of it from you, I have become converted - how could I go through life without trying it?

Spring is on her way. I cut back some die back today and discovered these friends. The Black Dragon bearded iris sending out exploratory spears. The return of the glorious oriental poppies the big furry bees adore… and this hellebore, glorious in Spring Skirts and colour :-)

There are those church family you visit who remember all your secret delights and then when you leave late to go to another meeting, insist you take them with you for energy. These are the beating hearts of faith in our church who love in small ways that transform the world

I know it’s cold. But these are in our churchyard. Hang in there everyone, there is a rustling and bustling of bulbs… it might feel like always winter and Christmas is a memory… but Spring is shaking out her skirts ;-)

St. Andrew, Methodist Church, Pump Street, Worcs. You have to believe in the incarnation to build a staircase like this.

Watch out for the wee beastie when out on your travels tonight. They have a wee dram on Burns night and can become quite disoriented and wander about on the highways. Running over a haggis is twenty one decades of the rosary

No matter how dark your path has become, God will find you, God will bring you home. No matter how right we think we are, may God widen our hearts that the light might get in
Lord, touch the violence & self-righteousness in our world with healing love

Personally I write in fountain pen.Surely I am not alone? I love all forms of incarnation

125 years of Birmingham’s epic University, and Old Joe’s tower is lit. Tallest freestanding clock tower, icon of Birmingham, and just the coolest clock you’ll ever hang out with. Looking glorious

Candles made newly this morning from recycled church wax - which goes some way to replacing those we used last night at the Prayer for Christian Unity … :-)
