Adoration of the Cross this aft... & what a wonderul, life-sized Italianate crucifix at St Luke's, Clifford (nr Wetherby). Very moving to see how everyone had their own take on how they reverenced the cross. Not done this is my group of churches before as this one is further up the candle than me.

Happy Valentine's Day! If you're not in a relationship today, remember that you're worthy of love, &God loves you more than you can ever imagine.
As well as today being St Valentine's Day, the Church also remembers 2 other saints: Cyril and Methodius. Their story makes it "Palentine's Day"... 1/4

Very chilly walk yesterday around Fewston Reservoir near Harrogate. Would also be navigable (I think) on a powered, off roader / v. rugged wheelchair.

If you experience these feelings you are not failing at being a human, or unworthy of love. And you are not rejected by God, or as far from him as you may feel. 4/14

A thought for the turn of the year. #CofEpeeps #NewYear
Loneliness and isolation affect a lot of people, even some who spend a lot of time in social situations, including coming to church. Christmas and New Year can heighten those feelings.

In praise of solid media.
We have got used to listening to (and watching) media via streaming services. It must be said that, generally speaking, this makes things easier - a few prods of the thumb and you're off. 1/8

I have either
1. successfully made my festive elf hat balance upright, or
2. successfully diverted all the additional festive food I have consumed into my head, making it grow into a cone which exactly fits the hat
