Chorus: Ride on, ride on in majesty; (Ride on, ride on, ride on, ride on in majesty, in majesty;) In lowly pomp, ride on to die. (In lowly pomp, in… Continue reading Ride on in Majesty – {Lent}

The feather and the nail – {Lent}

I hold in my hands a feather and a nail. The nail is cold and heavy. I can feel the point pressing against my palm. It is man made. Strong, a tool. The feather on the other hand feels weightless.

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the… Continue reading The Old Rugged Cross – {Lent}

We may not know, we cannot tell, What pains He… Continue reading There is a green hill far away

Pilgrim’s Progress – {Lent}

I have fond memories of my Dad reading Pilgrims Progress to me as a kid. Today, it is still one of my favourite reads. An allegory of Christian life, the main antagonist journeys to the Celestial city (heaven).  As he travels, Christian carries a heavy burden - the knowledge of His sin. It is not… Continue reading Pilgrim’s Progress – {Lent}

The Journey – {Lent}

I love road trips with my husband. A chance to get away from Town and its busyness. A chance to, with no other interruptions, talk, laugh, remember and dream together. It's always a great time of connection for us. No distractions of work or chores, or phones or social engagements. Just the two of us.… Continue reading The Journey – {Lent}
