Shout out to my two amazing friends who on absurdly short notice agreed to hop in the car and go on a weekend adventure with me. This weekend was BFA's…

I had a really full week with lots of meetings and emails that I can't share on the internet, but one of the moments that I can share was a…

I spent a while yesterday pondering what to post for this week, but nothing good came to mind. Rather than writing some drivel that was not worthwhile, I chose to…

"Okay, but what day does it feel like in your soul?" I asked a group of students a couple of days ago. Some of them couldn't get away from the…

My new semester of students started reading Jonah today - we finished the whole book in less than twenty minutes. It's not that long, but it's plenty exciting - especially…

Caroline gave a really beautiful message this morning reflecting on Epiphany and the magi who sought the wisdom literature of a variety of religions and discovered the coming of the…

Jacqui is one of the most consistent friendships in the past several years of my life. We have a standing call weekly, and despite the fact that I've slept through…

I get excited about reading the Bible. I'm a big fan. I also love a lot of the things in the gathering of the church on Sunday mornings. One of…

When I was student teaching, I hung my Guy Fawkes mask on the board on the first day of the Fahrenheit 451 unit. It was recognised as both the Anonymous…

I don't think anyone would call Belgrade the Emerald City, but I did just spend one short day there, and the city will never be the same. Okay, it will,…

There are two people who I consistently describe as "the cooler version of me," and today's post tangentially references both of them. Back in September, I was in Bristol to…

I was doing readings in church this morning, but I didn't think about that as I pulled my favourite sweatshirt over my head as I was getting ready. With the…

This morning Caroline's message centred around the first three words of our 2 Timothy reading: Remember Christ Jesus. I had a lot to distract me this week with squirrelly juniors…
