Rainbow

On the way to pick up Ben this morning we saw a rainbow. It is quite some time since I've seen one of those & it reminded me of Gods promises.

New Year has been very hard. I think this is probably partly because people were praying for us over Christmas but maybe didn't really think of New Year as a problem, so stopped.
And partly because New Year is a time for looking back & looking forward, neither of which brings me much joy this year.
And maybe partly because I have been able to relax a bit over the Christmas break, which is good, but have therefore had time to think, which is bad.

Anyway, it has been hard, I keep thinking of what a difference a year can make.

It was good to be reminded that God has many promises for us, & his word is true.

Play nice - I will delete anything I don't want associated with this blog and I will delete anonymous comments.

Why post emergent?

Why not?

Some years ago I wrote about things relating to church I thought were important then and probably still do to an extent. So many of us want to make sure stuff is right, trying to differentiate ourselves, yet also often miss the more important stuff, the bigger picture.

I watch various people doing church in different ways and wonder how much God is concerned about our 'important' bits of theology or stances we take. The church stream I was once so pleased to be part of is starting to look like every other church to me, so maybe it's time I had a little humility instead of pride at being different.
