Thoughts From Just Another Passer By

Photo's/ Don't you love them. To one person a photo can mean so much, to others not a clue. I love going out with the camera if I have time or catching a moment with the old phone (or rather new phone with good((ish)) camera.) But for some they will mean nothing and others so much. Here are some photo's that I love, that make up my rolling screen saver.... whats more there are explanations.  My and my friend, Emma went to the beach, very early in the morning... around 4 and it makes me think that there is always some one walking with me. Always something good to remember.  I took this photo a couple of years ago. It's one of my favourite places in the world. Not only the beach but Mundesly, just always peaceful if you go at the right time.  This was at Amport house. The tri-service Chaplaincy centre, this was were I spent 3 of a 10 day visit to the Army.  This motley crew are just some of the fantastic people you meet at Cliff... whats more its...

Note number one: This weeks been tough. This week I'm struggling, but praise be to God because he is good. Note Number two: Still a small and slim but possible chance to go to MYA 3generate.... it's going to be great! Note Number Three: It's been a while, and for my third year I have to do a block placement for two weeks. I could do practically anything as long as it was essentially safe and at the end of the two weeks I could write a 3000 word assignment on it, or rather the dreaded words - theological reflection. I thought about it long and hard and I was hoping to find away of working with a militrary chaplain/padre over the summer. Having my tonsils out really ut paid to that. So giving up on that brilliant but unsccesful plan I thought to myself... simple I will just find a church who wants to have student be involved in there church for two weeks, no problem there will be many... some how no. Three weeks ago I was beginning to start to panic block placem...

When all is said and done,  I wish to walk towards the Son.  Holding fast to the cross,  Kneeling at his feet. Dancing for his glory. Singing all his praise. I want to tell all these kingdoms, about great news you are. Share a glimpse of heaven and  Share the love from all above.

I started this some time ago, by the sounds of it, it wasn't the brightest time in my life... today I finished it :D I feel asleep one night and down I fell a dream of bugs and bells The fire burnt bright the shadows grew deeper I hope i awake to daylight strong and an ever deepening understanding and voice for your song

For the last couple of years I've had the great opportunity of working with the Churches Together Tent at the Royal Norfolk Show. For those of you who are unaware of this particular county show, it is currently the largest Show of its kind within the country, to the point this year Norfolk made the national travel updates due to the amount of traffic on the roads... usually no one outside our county needs to know. The first few years I had the privileged of an in-tent job working with the Messy church set up. The tent is often set out as a cafe with activities for children families or any one really who wants to get involved and then with activities around the perimeter focused on the theme as well as a prayer space. I loved woking on the Messy Church work, it gave both an opportunity to be messy but to allow the adults as much as anyone to have the space to discuss faith in a non threatening if not slightly unusual environment that was not judgemental bu...

I'm not sure that its the new year that changes the world.... Nothing happens in January except a load of mostly already broken promises we keep trying to persuade ourselves to do. September is the month! September is the month when everything changes... its really the start of autumn. But looking back every September is a change, big things happen. We go back to school, or college, or Uni, if we have families they do the same and if we have none we can go back to places as there are no longer school, college or uni students hanging around. Its been 10 years this September since 9/11. Its the month of international talk like a pirate day. Its the start of the Methodist Year. September was when we started using our current calendar system! This time last year I posted about a changing experience I had with the Army, and it is incredibly scary to think that the guys some younger than me who had started there training when i visited will have completed there p...

Clearing out my laptop sharing the poem and thoughts - mostly half finished so they're gone from my computer but not lost forever. * Find the soul of the lost Taste the hour that eclipses Know that tomorrows walk will add blisters on to blisters Time shall not bear easy on you Nor shall the road be smooth Fight for tooth and nail upon the rocky path For tomorrow will not be easier But maybe it won't be harder * You have called me All that I am Put me here in this moment Standing with the lamb You gave me a map And You ask me to pray To work with you on my direction Everyday You ask me to intercess For my fellow travellors For their paths and directions Are important to you to For we all serve your glory The glory of the king Our direction faces into you To you our praise we sing. * To the glory of your name I bring to you my life in praise. How can you accept us? I’ve seen the work our hands have done Crazy shameful moments Time was...
