kneel in wonder at heaven touching earth
Reflecting on life, faith, and the prayers we pray in the Church of England
A couple of week’s ago, I posted something from Fr. Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditations that had really struck a chord with me. Today, I want to post another one. This actually dropped into my inbox on Saturday.
I’ve been having a tough time of things with my health recently, as many regular readers of the [...]
Regular readers of this blog will know that I struggle quite a bit with my health. And anyone that read last Sunday’s reflection on the Collect will know that it has been particularly bad recently. Sadly, I’m not about to write that I’m feeling much better now; I’m not, and things are still very difficult.
Onto [...]
Over the last few weeks, my health, which is never good, has been particularly unstable. And, in fact, the last couple of weeks it has been really poor. I’ve been getting a lot of pain, which has frequently been keeping me awake too. Normally, when it gets like this, I do manage odd days when [...]
Do you view yourself in a positive or a negative way? In this post from Lou Tice at the Winners Circle he talks about where the negative beliefs so many of us hold about ourselves may have come from. And, most importantly, lets us know that we can change that thinking.

Do you think of old age as a [...]
This arrived in my inbox four or five times in one week, all from completely different sources. Now I know I’m not the healthiest of eaters, so I think someone must be trying to tell me something! I wonder if I’m listening to the right side?
And God sent healthy vegetables
In the beginning God covered the [...]
In this post from Lou Tice at the Winners Circle, he talks about how we can learn from situations we find ourselves in, even pretty dire ones such as a depression. And if we can learn from something as bleak as a depression, maybe we really can learn from everything.

This is another post from Lou Tice at the Winners Circle. In this one Lou reminds us that ‘experts’ are just fallible human beings who happen to have more knowledge than most in their chosen field. The trouble is, they are not always right, and Lou illustrates this from his own family’s experience, an experience [...]
