Not every week do you get to play beach volleyball in the snow! I was assistant team leading an SU Scotland camp at Lendrick Muir last week, so no blog posts. It was a great week, fantastic young people and fabulous leaders. One highlight of the week was playing beach volleyball (barefooted of course) as [...]

Then the saying will come true:
Death swallowed by triumphant Life! Who go the Last word, oh, Death? Oh, Death, who’s afraid of you now?
(1 Cor. 15:55, The Message)
He is risen indeed. Hallelujah.
Holy Saturday
Posted in lent, musings, tagged holy saturday on March 22, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Held between crucifixion and resurrection, Holy Saturday can seem to be an insignificant moment in the rhythm of Holy Week. The songs and celebration of palm sunday forgotten, and the agony of the cross now passed, it is time of waiting for the promise of resurrection. Sometimes it can do little more than serve as [...]
Book Club: The Great Divorce
Posted in life, ponderings, review, theology on March 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I went to my first book club recently. It was GREAT. Brilliant in fact. It was very informal, just 5 of us ladies from church in the company of C.S.Lewis’ The Great Divorce. The depth of conversation was fantastic. It’s easy to sit in church and disengage the brain, but there we were wrestling with [...]

These are amazing. Pygmy goats, so sweet… now I want to live in a minimalist flat with a house-pygmy-goat…

The lack of blog posts, folks, is due to a very frustrating situation that’s been brewing away, and should have been resolved last week, but now has no resolution date in sight. grrr. I’m angry and tired.
And busy. I’ve been asked to step in as an ATL at an SU Scotland holiday next week. Trying [...]
If you think you are standing…

If you think you are standing… be careful that you do not fall.
This is a video I made for church a few weeks ago, it ties in with the sermon series on Corinthians at the moment. Broadly speaking, I think people found it helpful and though provoking. Basically I was trying to help thing through [...]

The Holiday
Posted in film, review on March 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I went round to a friend’s last night, and we watched The Holiday. The basic premise is two women switched houses over the Christmas holiday because they’re both trying to get away from their man-troubles.
The switch happens between Surrey and LA, which makes for a lot of great British moments. There are some great bits [...]
Rugby

Yesterday was amazing.
My sister and I went to the Standing Order to watch the calcutta cup match. To be honest, I wasn’t feeling too hopeful, but it was impossible to ignore the sense of optimism and hope in the pub. We may have been 5 seconds behind the singing at murrayfield, but the sound of [...]
