Too Late- Look, See, Pray
January 30, 2025
There have been arguments and complaints about the sea defences for years! They needed replacing, repairing, renewing… but it is too late. … More Too Late- Look, See, Pray
A Lamp Shines- Look, See, Pray
January 16, 2025
It’s a bit late to write about carols, candles and Christmas. I’m grieving the disappearance of the Christmas light displays from our locality… all the joy and fun of the illuminations made the streets brighter and better. … More A Lamp Shines- Look, See, Pray
John 2 & Ps 35
January 13, 2025
Greetings ‘Flectioneers! Welcome to the boring part of the year: we’ve packed away the decorations and our houses are boring; we’ve (mostly) stopped wearing Christmas jumpers and our clothes are boring; we’ve watched all the specials we recorded over Christmas and the telly is boring; we’ve eaten those posh biscuits we bought and our food … More John 2 & Ps 35
Duck The Baptist! Look, See, Pray
December 5, 2024
It’s always a joy when a photo catches a “moment” of action or a humorous pose… This mallard was enthusiastically immersing himself (and any other fowl that came near) in a flurry of feathers and spray. … More Duck The Baptist! Look, See, Pray
Feathers – James 5

Red kite feathers are not uncommon where I live. There are plenty of red kites round here (small and furries of the … More Feathers – James 5
Living Water! Look, See, Pray
August 8, 2024
A mountain stream at full bore… collecting water from the high peaks and plateaus, it throws itself headlong towards the sea. It has the energy to carve slowly through rocks, and collects minerals to feed the farmlands far below. Exuberant life! … More Living Water! Look, See, Pray
Who Is Winning? Look, See, Pray
May 23, 2024
Our “short” history is full of pain and struggle; the interminable conflict of the war for our soul forces us to cry out for help. “How long, O Lord?” we scream at the heavens. Who is winning? … More Who Is Winning? Look, See, Pray
Trinity #HeresyAlert
May 20, 2024
Yup, it’s that time of year to wheel out the curate, the lay minister, the retired bishop or whomever else you have lying around and give them the Trinity to preach on. Meanwhile the church wardens, elders or circuit Sanhedrin can prepare the stake and kindling in the carpark. Please find below a bundle of … More Trinity #HeresyAlert
Shepherds and Farmers and Sunshine(?)
April 28, 2024
What a very bucolic theme we have to this week’s Reflectionary. I feel I should don a smock and prance around with a pitchfork. Or perhaps just watch THAT Yeo Valley advert a couple of times. (Love the chicken!) Click here for my freshly-preached sermon on John 10:11-18, the Good Shepherd. My apologies for posting … More Shepherds and Farmers and Sunshine(?)
