Exodus

Just thinking…I have been looking out at my poor lawn since I got back home from holidays. When I left it was green and reasonably lush. Now, it is has a brown, ‘baked-in-the-oven’ appearance. Every morning I go out wondering if it will ever grow back, but experience has shown me that come Autumn, I…

Just thinking…There is a nugget of wisdom in the Bible that says this: There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death (Proverbs 14:12). It reminds me of a funny little ditty called ‘The Spellchecker’. I have a spelling chequer It came with my pea sea It…

Just thinking…The more I think about heaven, the more I wonder why people don’t think about it more. Yes, it is mysterious in many respects, but there are numerous references to it in the Bible to spark our Christian imaginations. Yes, it is out of our experience but why should that take it out of…

It’s ironic, then, that tradition has so wrapped around our understanding of both the first Christmas and of Heaven itself, that much of what we think about each stems more from tradition than from scripture.
