I love that the school run is a huge part of our week. We are able to walk alongside others twice a day, five days a week, over a period of several years. It allows deeper lifelong relationships to develop. It gives me the chance to ask friends about their day and listen as they share their joys and challenges.
We often think about the things Jesus said – we memorise his words and repeat them. But I wonder if we sometimes miss how good a listener Jesus is?
I love the transition between two seasons, but I particularly love the change from spring to summer. The beauty that was birthed in spring seems to come into the fullness of life in summer – the trees get greener, the flowers open fully and the sun shines for longer.
I felt worn down from being ‘switched on’ in my life in Glasgow. I know the ‘right’ answers and I know what I’m supposed to do and say, but were these really my heartfelt convictions about God or just learnt behaviours?! So I set myself a challenge – one I wasn’t sure was entirely within the realms of orthodoxy.
Easter is approaching, the time for death and resurrection. The time to mark the single greatest victory in the history of all humankind: love, light, goodness, truth, beauty and hope conquering hate, darkness, evil, lies, ugliness and despair. Yet the road to the ‘hallelujah’ we sing is not always an easy one.
You’re convinced about the principle to make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20). You know, more or less, what you need to do. So, the next step is to find that person to get alongside…
‘Hey random person I’ve only known for two weeks, would you like to read the Bible with me?’ you say optimistically.
