Look more closely- Look, See, Pray

May 24, 2018

Imagining a simple prayer – Look, See, Pray

May 17, 2018

Take note of the colours, shapes, textures; what would it be like to touch or sniff?

You can scarcely see the woody branches- that’s a symbol of the overflowingly generous forgiveness and grace of Jesus towards us. … More Champagne flowers- Look, See, Pray

Time like a River

April 13, 2018

We reach for the heavens. Whether or not we understand what we reach for is another question. I dream of a society of humility, faith, and compassion. I wonder what that would look like… and what legacy we might leave … … More Time like a River

Unfolding promises- Look, See, Pray

April 5, 2018

There is so much waiting in the Bible! I like to jump in and get the ball rolling. Jesus takes his time, and waits for the RIGHT time. I wonder who knows best? … More Unfolding promises- Look, See, Pray
