The crowning of my year of officially becoming a proper adult happened today… exchanging contracts on a house!
I am now a 40 year old parent who owns a house! I still play with Lego and laugh at flatulence… so, there maybe questions over maturity!!

In the heat Hugo is sleeping only in his nappy. On the sleep monitor he looks like Mowgli and I can’t tell you how much my heart burst with love, pride and protective instinct! I would kill for him… don’t push me because I will do it!

If I had preached today I’d have said: I’m learning something new this Easter, something ancient and holy, by playing peekaboo with my son.
When I hide my face, his eyes widen. For a moment, I see confusion, even fear. To him, I’ve vanished. He doesn’t yet know I’m still here, just out of sight.

Do you feel the weight of a world unravelled? Wars rumbling, trust thinning, hope worn thin? With an innocent baby in my arms I ask: what does the future hold? This morning seemingly offers no easy answers, only this: God doesn’t let go.
