1. Here’s some links for the weekend, hopefully yours is one with enough time and space to enter into this story of redemption and again and join Christ in the laying down and raising up!
Awkward Holy Saturday – This is a great review of a book on Holy Saturday called “The Glorious Dark” and an invitation to consider the significance of the saturday where Jesus lay dead.

6 Things I’ve learnt about hearing God in transition | Noah Kaye
LIAM:Surely one of the most stress inducing questions in life for many Christians is What does God want to do with my life?

After about 6 months of playing the songs he was writing through, both of our commitments pulled us in different directions and I had little awareness of how things were progressing until he sent out a kickstarter email and funded the recording in record time! 1
Fast forward a few more months and Songs of Sorrow | Songs of Hope was released and it has been the most listened to album for me ever since.

A New Venture on the web
Im kicking off 2015 a little late – I wanted to begin the discipline of writing, so here it is.
I felt a little hemmed in over at our other site 1, so I thought a blanker 2 page may spark some things off.

Ideas from you!
I have a few ideas in the mix, but I want to hear from you, Dear reader, what should I write about. A title, a theme anything you would enjoy reading something about (I’m shooting in the area of theology, missions, culture etc.)
Who knows you might help me peak some creativity. Head over the the contact page to let me know, or leave a comment here.
