I’ve just launched a new blog on the Christian life—what some call Christian spirituality.
I’ll be posting every two weeks for the next 10 months, starting in November. You can even give feedback as I shape this into a book!

We said evening prayer tonight at St John the Baptist, Northwood. It is a 12th century church in which prayers have been prayed for centuries.
Prayed tonight for renewal; renewal only the Spirit can give.

A year ago, if you told me I would be here in this place doing this - I would not have believed you. However, the Lord leads our lives and calls us to love and serve particular people. I am entering this new season with a sober mind, open heart and commitment to serve Christ and His people. Joy!
