PENTECOST

You
have to
get the kite
to catch the wind
and then let out the string –
then if it doesn’t fall flat,
off it goes!

I remember
standing with a
very small bundle of grandson
and suddenly being overwhelmed with love,
tears ran down my face as I realised
how much love I had
for this child.

EASTER 5

Many in
our society
live on the edges,

whether we in the institutional church
make it easy for them
to seek and
find God.

EASTER 4

We
might picture
a Shepherd-Lord figure
with cute clean lambs, like

but that was never

EASTER 3

If your
leader is dead
and you fear it’s all over,
you might at best be embarrassed,
but perhaps you could be
locked away with the
ghosts in your
head.

EASTER

Frozen
with fear,
she cried to be
picked up and comforted.
Whatever she was seeing,
however magnificent,
was not what she
expected.

Good Friday

No one
there that day,
including the Romans
who did the deed, would ever
have agreed to call it
“Good Friday.”
