Tetelestai – Perfect
March 24, 2025
In English we have many ways to talk about when something happened. Oh yes, this post is going to be very in-tense! (If you’re about to shudder and remember Year 4th grammar with old Mr Slater, breathe. It’s OK. This is me. We’ll be fine.) I found this handy-dandy chart that shows English tenses. We’re … More Tetelestai – Perfect

Ps 37, Lk 6 & Parsnips
February 17, 2025
“Do not fret because of the wicked; do not be envious of wrongdoers,” says the psalmist. Easy to say. Not so easy to do. “Turn the other cheek,” says Jesus. I’m not sure the folks of Ukraine fancy turning the other cheek after being thrown under a bus by two wanna-be emperors. “Love your enemy.” … More Ps 37, Lk 6 & Parsnips

Kids in the Way Neh 8 + Ps 19
January 20, 2025
This is one of the (few) times when I’m grateful for the weirdnesses of the lectionary. Did you notice the missing verses from today’s reading in Nehemiah? For once, it’s sensible. Verses 4 and 7 are the Hebrew equivalent of ‘red lolly, yellow lorry’, or ‘unique New York’. Can you say them five times fast? … More Kids in the Way Neh 8 + Ps 19
