Thoughts From An Ever Changing World: February 2012
http://lornabowry.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 14 February 2012. I realise that this issue is a big topic in the world right now, and a lot of folk are likely fed up of hearing about it. So, the sooner it's over the better! But, then again, I realise that this isn't the view of everybody. For me, it being 'over' (in Scotland anyway) is for equal marriage to be passed by the Scottish Parliament (and straight civil partnerships too please), yet for others it being 'over' is quite the opposite. Can we ever really all agree? I'm ok with that!

Thoughts From An Ever Changing World: November 2012
http://lornabowry.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, 25 November 2012. Linear; design, dimension, series, measure. Linear. Regimented. Controlled. Organised. Precise. Fixed. Strict. Definite. I don't think so. This sharp difference between this graveyard where we are laid to rest is such a contrast in it's structure, in comparison to the structure of our lives as we live. There are no answers to life here, just ponderings on how we live, and the importance of that journey we have the privilege of leading. Thursday, 1 November 2012. The tree was spr...

Thoughts From An Ever Changing World: March 2013
http://lornabowry.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Monday, 11 March 2013. Beckoning God, you draw us home - thoughts. What is the custom now? But what I want to ask is: how does time change the meaning of something? I guess in this instance, the general concept is still the same - going home and spending time with family. But when did church and, maybe more importantly, when did God get taken out of that for so many people? The original Mothering Sunday was to go home to your mother church. We now go home to our mothers. Where is God beckoning you? Someo...

Thoughts From An Ever Changing World: Differences; spoken or unspoken
http://lornabowry.blogspot.com/2012/06/differences-spoken-or-unspoken.html
Sunday, 17 June 2012. Differences; spoken or unspoken. Says so much. But how much are our differences spoken about or unspoken? I am going to speak. If you have differences with me, then go ahead and speak too. If you agree with me, then go ahead and speak too. As somebody who has been working for and living with the Iona Community for the past few years I think it's only right if I share something from them. The Iona Community response to same sex marriage. I think this is a film more people should watc...

Thoughts From An Ever Changing World: Observations
http://lornabowry.blogspot.com/2012/07/observations.html
Wednesday, 11 July 2012. A few hours later after going to Sainsburys, cleaning the kitchen and hanging my washing I got in the car, turned the engine on and pressed play on the cd player. I drove. But where was I going? I had no idea. I had no plan, I had no aim, I had nowhere to go. I just needed to go. 15 minutes later I found myself up on Blackford Hill. It hadn't been many days since I was last there with my friend watching the sun set over this beautiful city. Sunset from Blackford Hill. This introv...

Thoughts From An Ever Changing World: Lyrical Love
http://lornabowry.blogspot.com/2012/10/lyrical-love.html
Tuesday, 2 October 2012. It's just the constraints I have on myself at this moment in time. Brother, sister, let me serve you,. Let me be as Christ to you;. Pray that I may have the grace to. Let you be my servant too. We are pilgrims on a journey,. And companions on the road;. We are here to help each other. Walk the mile and bear the load.". Richard A. M. Gillard. Gather us in - the lost and forsaken,. Gather us in - the blind and the lame;. Call to us now, and we shall awaken,. Roll away the stone,.

Thoughts From An Ever Changing World: Beckoning God, you draw us home.
http://lornabowry.blogspot.com/2013/03/beckoning-god-you-draw-us-home.html
Monday, 11 March 2013. Beckoning God, you draw us home. Wish I were with you but I couldn't stay. Every direction leads me away. Pray for tomorrow but for today. All I want is to be home. Stand in the mirror, you look the same. Just lookin' for shelter from the cold and the pain. Someone to cover, safe from the rain. And all I want is to be home. Echoes and silence, patience and grace. All of these moments I'll never replace. No fear of my heart, absence of faith. And all I want is to be home.
