Remind Me of Christmas

“Dear world, there’s intense bombing right now. Why are you silent? Why? Why? Why? Fear is killing me & my kids. – Fatemah #Aleppo” A reflection on Christmas in the midst of the tweets coming out of Syria.

Brief Pause at Home

Back in Brum for a week.

As long as it is called ‘Today’

Hebrews 3 + 8.
As long as it is called ‘Today’, may I live by faith.

Advent – rest, celebration, action

I love the sense of expectation and hopefulness in this month – a sense of expectation with which days on the calendar are slowly crossed off and doors of advent calendars are opened.
