I often find myself inspired to pray or connect with God when I listen to dance music. The music is often really catchy, but more than that, the lyrics are deceptive in their simplicity. Sometimes they capture something that seems obvious but needs pondering. The dance act Disclosure have a new song out called “Energy”.Continue reading “Energy”

Guest prayer by Theresa Dickson. I found myself in a difficult, challenging situation recently. It was work-related but had started to leak into my personal life. I reached out for prayer from my friends. I prayed a lot myself, asking God to bring an end to the situation, to help me get through it, anythingContinue reading “Bring it on!”

Recently I set out on a bike ride, not to get anywhere specific, just for fitness and fun. The weather conditions seemed perfect, bright but not too sunny, not to warm either. From what I could see there was no wind, I didn’t notice the branches moving or fast moving clouds. I was thoroughly enjoyingContinue reading “Going with the Breeze”

Compact discs, tape cassettes, VHS, photos you can actually hold. They are almost historical relics. Would anyone under 18 even recognise a tape cassette or know what a mini-disc looks like? I remember buying a certain CD when I was 20, almost two decades ago. It was a fantastic dance compilation and I played itContinue reading “Format”

On Sunday 10th May, our government announced the first steps to easing lockdown. For most of us this generated some feelings; hope, excitement, confusion, maybe even fear and anxiety. Since this years pandemic began, and as we moved in to lockdown, most of us have been on a roller-coaster of feelings. Its not just theContinue reading “Feels Like Falling”

One of my favourite authors is Armistead Maupin. If you haven’t indulged in his ‘Tales of the City’ anthology then I insist you begin your journey as soon as possible! His writing is very important in terms of exploring themes of inclusion, community, love, connection and ultimately what its means to be human. I wasContinue reading “Clear Up Your Mess!”

I was randomly listening to dance music on YouTube the other day (other streaming services are available!) and a favourite from last year came on, ‘Work It Out’ by Karizma. It has been used on an advert before so you may have heard it, if not look it up. For me it’s a perfect danceContinue reading “Work It Out”

I’m sure many of you will be familiar with the initials WWJD- What Would Jesus Do? Maybe you had a poster, or a wrist band? I personally have found these four letters very helpful over the years in prompting me to think before acting. So today I bring you a new set of letters –Continue reading “WWRPF”

Im sure we have all started a sentence with the phrase “Can I be frank…” What we are indicating is that we want to be candid, honest. Normally it means we are about to say something that might not land well with the listener. All too often it’s our way of indicating we are aboutContinue reading “Can I Be Frank?”

I was listening to a podcast, and the speaker referenced the gap between that which we are hoping to attract in to our lives and the reality of what is. I smiled as in my head all I could hear was the underground platform announcement “Mind The Gap!” Often we think, and pray about thatContinue reading “Minding the Gap”
