In the First Letter to the Corinthians Paul writes; God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. Key take-away #1. God is faithful. We try to be faithful andContinue reading “God is faithful”

Sometimes we just have to listen to our inner voice. There are times when we think it through and talk to ourselves rather than listening. I kind of equate that to when you are ‘listening’ to someone but really you are just waiting to speak, not really listening. Creating the headspace to listen takes timeContinue reading “listen that you may hear”

My Camino in my mind was about leaving 3 ‘rocks’ on the way and having it out with God. A bit of a ‘what the hell?’ conversation. Getting to Sarria was really hard and I almost turned back but I really wanted to have that chat, it pushed me from a need deep within. OnContinue reading “Sh*t happens – make good choices”

Whilst in Santiago after my Camino I was fortunate to attend Mass at the Cathedral on Sunday. To get in to the Cathedral I walked past a highly-distressed lady. She sat outside the church and wailed. It was a haunting sound. I felt uncomfortable walking past her. Then when I had to walk past herContinue reading “Harden not your heart”

Interestingly, we routine-up our rituals and ritualize our routines. Yes, I know this is a couple of days late. I am vastly imperfect. This is a topic I feel is obvious but not given enough attention. Rituals are important. They matter to our psyche. I don’t know why but I am confident they do. TheContinue reading “Routines and Rituals”

It has been a while between posts but I’m going to be writing one per week from now on. Either Thursday or Friday I will make time and space to say something. In a way I think if we do not use our voice consistently we run the risk of losing the confidence to speakContinue reading “Call to camino”

Easter Sunday has been and gone but the hope of the season remains. Too often we focus on Lent and forget to immerse ourselves in the glory of Easter, which is actually a longer time frame. We need to learn how to celebrate. Why do we celebrate for one weekend and then transfer to theContinue reading “Easter is not over!”

I’m torn between a desire for justice and a sense of gratitude for the blessings I have been given. What would Jesus say? I often wonder and my clouded and emotive mind has no clear answer. Every single day I want to speak my truth and have it known – especially when I read wordsContinue reading “Accountability”

Just saw a presentation from the Pat Cronin Foundation. A powerful story. An emotive story. How important it is to reinforce to young men that violence is never entertainment, it is never ok. That we all can feel angry but what matters most is what we do. And not just how we respond to ourContinue reading “Men fear women will laugh at them, women fear men will kill them.”

Ah Lent we meet again. And yes, I am invoking the Sunday loophole. (If you hadn’t noticed there are 46 days in Lent – so my brain translates that to – Sundays don’t count as they are days of celebration). I think Lent is ultimately a personal choice. How do you get ready to celebrateContinue reading “Lent”
