As part of today's service people were asked to choose one of three Bible texts to sit with for a couple of minutes - that's not long enough, but it's a start. I've copied them below.  Feel free to choose one of them and spend some time sitting with it whatever way works for you.  For example you may use all or part of it as a 'mantra' to repeat over and over.  Or maybe you prefer to pick one word to focus upon.  Perhaps doodling, moving or writing are more your thing.  There isn't one correct way to do this, it's what works for you...

This morning saw the start of our summer series looking at 'Aspects of Spirituality'.  In a change from recent years we are sticking with a more traditional format, so that most weeks most of us will stay together most, if not all, the time.

I was proud of how people engaged with the ideas around the relationship of 'personality' with 'how we might relate to God'. I hope that I communicated adequately that there is no 'better' or 'superior' personality, and that we are all 'fearfully and wonderfully made', that God delights in us, and God wants us to flourish.

The enneagram is possibly quite trendy just now, though I've been aware of it for around twenty years.  Using some work by German Roman Catholic writers (!) we were able to make some links between the way we 'are' and how we might 'encounter God' in forms of contemplation. (One premise of the stuff I've read is that for everyone there is a form of contemplation that will work).

I also fleetingly mentioned the good old Myers Briggs and used this graphic of the MBTI prayers.  Enjoy...

Today I received some amazing photos from the wedding I recently conducted in the highlands.  Among them some absolutely hilarious ones, such as this... It's just crying out for a caption!

I also like this one of the 'dancing vicar' (I wasn't dancing but it looks like I might have been!)

Thank you M & T and your talented friends.
