Thanks Dr John

I don't often review blogs on my site, though the list at the side under 'blogroll' seems to get longer and longer and i am reluctant to take any off. I check the blogs in my blogroll usually every few days and i know a couple haven't been updated for a while, i just live in hope that they will be sometime as i liked what they wrote (though i may not agree with it all) and trust that sometime they will post again with equally stimulating thoughts.

Anyway, a thank you to Dr John who made my site 'link of the day' as part of his blogmarathon (an experience he doesn't seem keen to repeat - the marathon that is, not my link). His blog is gentle, funny, thoughtful and has a variety of theological and personal reflections on it that make it a good read. It's also a very personal and warm blog, and should be treated with respect (as most blogs should), I like it, go visit sometime.

Also, previously mentioned, check out the sidebar blogroll, i keep an eye on Jeff Weddle and Tom (kindaconfusing) most days as they keep posting stimulating stuff. All my links are there for a reason, so check them out if you want. Also do feel free to vote for me at Blog Village, as its fun seeing myself travel up (then usually quickly down) the table each day.

Yep, the JC points Dr. John doles out may seem "useless" (as he puts it) at first, but it's quickly becoming obvious to me that the real reward is in finding new blogs to read that I normally wouldn't have stumbled across on my own.

Your blog is definitely one that I'll be checking back in on...

Another sermon - as seems to be the way of this blog at present! Life is busy and complicated, and good, and bad, and exciting, and challenging, and (in short) not conducive to getting Blog posts written! So, here's my thought for today taken from these passages (Click for details): Exodus 16:1–5, 9–15,  Psalm 78;18–29 Mt 13.1–9 Grace and Meaning In the words of St Paul, or perhaps St John, or maybe St George, or even St Ringo “When I was younger, so much younger than today.” Ah, sorry, couldn’t resist!  No, it’s not a tubby boy story – but just a general reflection that today’s story from the book of Exodus used to cause me great consternation.  Or at least was one of those parts of Scripture that didn’t seem to fit… I knew the story, the mythological story I am now convinced, of the temptations in the wilderness when Jesus proclaims, quoting Deuteronomy 6 ‘you shall not put the Lord your God to the test’. As I moved into the Anglican Church and ...

A Sermon which upset someone

So, I'm not a theological conservative.  That probably comes across in pretty much everything I write, but I thought I should say it.  I believe myself to be orthodox, however, and hold to those things which the Church expresses in the catholic creeds.  I also have a relatively 'high' theology regarding the inspiration of Scripture. But I am not a Biblical literalist, nor do I hold to a doctrine of the infallibility of Scripture. I can't.  The Bible is too rich, too deep, too difficult, too flawed for that.  And by flawed I mean I understand it to be the record of human beings trying to make sense of God at work.  It has the breath of the Spirit blowing through it's words and on every page, but when we try and make sense of God there is a chance we will go awry.... 'Hey lets condemn (and or murder) pretty much everyone who isn't in our tribe, that's obviously what God wants' kind of awry.  And if we study this book carefully then we see that ideas ...
