Grace Upon Grace

From God's fullness we have all received, grace upon grace

Old blog, old posts

A long-winded way of saying that I'm winding this website and blog down

Lectio Divina: “dew…brook”

A word from Psalm 110. Something as tiny as a dew drop has the potential to grow into a brook, and further downstream to become the river of life.

Lectio Divina: “intending…estimate…foundation…began…not able to finish”

A word from Luke 14.25-33. In which my understanding of Jesus' teachings on building a tower and going to war are turned upside-down.

A word from Matthew 13.1-9. We need to a balance of modern efficiencies and traditional farming techniques to feed the world. I need a balance of modern and ancient practices to feed my mind, heart and soul.

Lectio Divina: “gracious will”

A word from Matthew 11.25-27. Reciting 'Your will be done' often gives me a small knot of anxiety, but what a difference the adjective 'gracious' makes.

Lectio Divina: “These are the names”

A word from Matthew 10.1-7. Names are important. How might I like my name to be written in lists?

I have been a Christian for more than thirty years. For many year I sought to live out my faith in working to encourage care for the environment as God’s creation and justice for our neighbours across the earth and in future generations. Nowadays, I simply try to live in that way, paying attention, and underpinned by a calling to contemplative prayer.
