Oink!

Happy Year of the Pig!

Chinese Lanterns at Oxford Circus
It's Chinese New Year, and Oxford Circus has been decorated with red lanterns again. I was asked to lead the teenagers group at church this morning, so I made the link between New Year and the Transfiguration (today's theme). Both are about reflecting on the past, looking to the future, making changes and preparing for the journey ahead. The verses of the reading were hidden in fortune cookies, and we thought a bit about mountain-top experiences and finding our own thin places.

Wow, I really like that image of "thin places." Mine is at the beach, for sure.

Hi Paul! You're alive! ;)

The Celtic Christians believed that you could hear/see God most clearly at spiritually thin places were where the land met the ocean - the beach!

Anyway, I love the photo - beautiful!
