Matthew 28 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it....

Suck Eggs “Jon, what do you mean I need to learn to listen! “I listen all the time. Its what everyone does isn’t it? “You don’t need to tell me how to suck an egg!!” Well, I’m not sure anyone has actually said that to me – but pretty sure, if...

About my Blog page

The seed thoughts for these short pieces of writing often arise when I’m least expecting it - reading, mowing the grass, going for a walk, in the shower(?!). I see them as ‘moments of clarity’ - and I love them. (They certainly don’t happen all the time). Pretty sure you would know these kinds of moments as well.

Sometimes I manage to capture my thoughts and write them. And there's a fulfilment that comes in the sharing. These days we call it blogging and thanks to social media, the sharing is efficient.

Topics tend to meander around subjects of Identity, Boundaries, Relationship, Recovery, and Spirituality. I call it ‘SUNDAY’, being a good day for a bit of reflection.

Avail yourself of the content as you will.

May seed thoughts be planted;
Seedling thoughts watered;
And mature thinking gathered.
