hopefulimagination: Counting Down the Days

http://hopefulimagination.blogspot.com/2011/12/counting-down-days.html

Monday, December 12, 2011. Counting Down the Days. We seem to be constantly at war with time here in the West, there’s so little of it in the day, and so few days in the ledger for our lives. At our backs we always hear, Time’s winged chariot hurrying near. Squeeze out every drop! Well try it on for size; try tasting the inside of a tomb’. But then time’s creator would never lay himself open to such an onslaught, surely? I suppose that’s what we’re waiting to find out during Advent. But should we choose ...

High Heels, Short Skirts and Clerical Collars: 40 Beyond 400

http://beyondthepaleofimagination.blogspot.com/2012/01/40-beyond-400.html

High Heels, Short Skirts and Clerical Collars. Monday, 30 January 2012. The fact is, at my tender age, I grew up on a different page. I don’t come from a position of tradition or division. Christianity is relatively new to me. But clearly something made me say “Hey, I like the Baptist Way”. Some people may not agree with me, my delivery or the way I see it. Cause I’m not inclined to grieve what is lost if all that is lost is how much it will cost. People feel like they’re the one nobody cares about.

High Heels, Short Skirts and Clerical Collars: October 2011

http://beyondthepaleofimagination.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

High Heels, Short Skirts and Clerical Collars. Friday, 14 October 2011. So I'm having a halloween party. At church. For the kids who come to our children's group. I know, I know, I'm evil right? Or are we hoping that if we keep telling them not to do it, they just won't, despite the fact their friends are, their schools are, and in lots of cases their parents are encouraging them to? Well if that's our hope, then more fool us. I don't know. Maybe I'm crazy, but I get the feeling that kids are going t...

High Heels, Short Skirts and Clerical Collars: February 2012

http://beyondthepaleofimagination.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

High Heels, Short Skirts and Clerical Collars. Friday, 10 February 2012. Recent events in my life have led me to question what it means to be an effective leader. After all, isn't that what I'm supposed to be - a leader? And an effective one, at that? After watching the video, the church split into three groups to try and pull apart what the video was saying and how we felt it might or might not relate to our mission in Edgeside. So what does does it mean to be an "effective leader"? I work in arts and c...

High Heels, Short Skirts and Clerical Collars: Darkness

http://beyondthepaleofimagination.blogspot.com/2011/12/darkness.html

High Heels, Short Skirts and Clerical Collars. Friday, 23 December 2011. I was sitting alone, in the dark. In front of me I could see nothing, save for my breath misting out before my eyes in the cold air. There was an emptiness about this place, a feeling I couldn't shake. I didn't want to be alone. I didn't want to be in the dark. More and more, as the days went on, I argued with the voice, resenting it for keeping me in the dark, asking what truth it was keeping from me that the other voice had offered.

Saturday, December 25, 2010. Pause for Thought - Radio 2. This is Simon Woodman's Pause for Thought from today's Roger Royle programme on Radio 2. Reproduced on the Hopeful Imagination blog with kind permission from the BBC. You can listen again here. 30 minutes into the show. Good morning, and happy Christmas. It’s a strange day, Christmas day, isn’t it? And now it’s here, it’s arrived. So happy Christmas. And what, I wonder, will today hold? And also, we might wonder, what on earth it meant? The Canadi...
