A new story | Messy Spirituality
https://devlunsfordspirituality.wordpress.com/2012/09/18/a-new-story
Somewhere to put my spirituality thoughts. September 18, 2012. Steve’s hope is that he’ll start to live in the new story even before he gets to come out and start work, knowing that his identity isn’t what it once was. He points out that this can be self-fulfilling too, as when we know the story really can be new then we feel empowered to make choices that the ‘new us’ might make. Next post →.

About Me | Life
https://devlunsford.wordpress.com/about-me
This is a big topic. I’m just me. A person. Just like you. And nothing like you. I’m right, I’m wrong, I’m funny and sad and stupid and misguided and wonderful and miraculous and worth something. I work in IT, and I have a strange relationship with technology. I think it has the power to do a lot of good, and it also knows how to make us think we need more of it, or to spend more time with it. I can’t imagine not caring. As it happens, I’m a musician. But pots are nice. I am not a finisher. Address never...

Faith and uncertainty | Messy Spirituality
https://devlunsfordspirituality.wordpress.com/2014/03/27/faith-and-uncertainty
Somewhere to put my spirituality thoughts. March 27, 2014. Is faith ‘being certain of what we hope for’ in the sense that we believe it in our heads as strongly as we can, and nobody can ever change our minds? What do you suppose the chances are that of all the people out there, you’re the one the truth landed with, from that lovely man or woman with no ulterior motive but to make sure you knew how God worked? They were right, and everyone else is wrong? So wait, how does that work? Next post →.

Kernel panic | Life
https://devlunsford.wordpress.com/2015/04/21/kernel-panic
This is a big topic. April 21, 2015. There’s a great term in the world of computers: kernel panic. When something so fundamentally wrong happens that the computer can’t reconcile reality with what it knows to be right. All it can do is shut down. Adding to this is the even more incomprehensible fact that many other people not only don’t care, but are actively pursuing the disastrous consequences we are observing. It’s a wonder I don’t implode completely. Next post →. Things I wish I’d known before. You a...

Piles | Life
https://devlunsford.wordpress.com/2013/05/01/piles
This is a big topic. May 1, 2013. But the collapse has highlighted the next stage of this madness: that even in a poor country whose wages might not need to be very high to support the cost of living, corners needed to be cut to be able to deliver at the price we demand. Horsemeat was in the news for a long time – another example of how cheaper and cheaper becomes unsustainable. But who died? Next post →. All The Things You Are – My new project.

This is a big topic. Lessons from Les Misérables. January 18, 2013. When I next saw it, I was in almost the same situation as Marius and Cosette, hoping to build a new relationship but not being allowed to – and wishing every day to be able to see her again. January 7, 2013. It often occurs to me to do something nice for someone, and I get the warm fuzzy feeling of thinking about what that would be like, and then some part of me thinks that it’s happened – but I never actually do it! What good is that?

I am not a finisher | Life
https://devlunsford.wordpress.com/2013/09/09/i-am-not-a-finisher
This is a big topic. September 9, 2013. I am not a finisher. I am slowly realising that I’m not good at finishing projects. I was going to say ‘I have come to the realisation that…’ but it sounded too much like a commitment, so I won’t. Anyway, it seems that I have a lot of ideas about things that need to be done but not so much of an inclination to get through them. I think I’m done, but I’m not sure. Oh well. Next post →.

About Life | Life
https://devlunsford.wordpress.com/about
This is a big topic. Life, the blog, is about a lot of stuff. Actually, my first post. Says it up pretty well. Although with a few more words than I intended. I need to work on my brevity. In summary, life is for living. I want to explore what that means, and there’s a lot of random subjects that might cover. Here’s the list from that first post. Some stuff I might talk about:. Minimalism, the power of stuff. Commercialism and consumer culture. Caring about the world, charities, causes, issues. All The T...

We are all 2-year-olds | Messy Spirituality
https://devlunsfordspirituality.wordpress.com/2012/11/14/we-are-all-2-year-olds
Somewhere to put my spirituality thoughts. November 14, 2012. We are all 2-year-olds. I personally have a 2-year-old and I’ve been watching how we interact. Quite often, the conversation goes like this: ‘Sophie, look at me. Look at me. That is dangerous. Sophie, listen. Listen! Come here.’ ‘Want to get down! This is most people’s impression of God. We can be distracted with all the fun things we’ve found, and he’s just sort of waiting, maybe smiling to himself when we do something cute, winci...You are c...
