Pat in France: July 2013
http://pat-in-france.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 26, 2013. Our journey in a time of Sabbatical. I wanted to write about our experience of Sabbatical here in France.I imagine that most folks know why we are taking it by now, and wanted just to share some thoughts about it. One thing I'm unsure of is, what do we do? I mean with the folks from the church we attended.we're stepping back from attending there for 9 months. So how do we react if someone calls and wants info, or maybe wants to call round for a chat/coffee/ help? I enjoyed it.t...

The long dark teatime of the soul...: September 2010
http://timjimharman.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 11, 2010. Post 1.01.01. Well a friend of mine told me I should start writing this blog, so bare with me as I begin to clog the internet with my inane drivel once more, again. I have a cup of coffee, I don’t know how anyone is meant to write a blog post at 9:29pm on a Saturday night with out a large cup of coffee, unless like I didn’t do today they slept all day till 2 or 4 or even 5 pm . But I didn’t do that, I have coffee! I WANT AN IPAD! And there are loads of good reasons why when ...

The Taffia Godfather: Introducing the Taffia
http://daicorleone.blogspot.com/2008/02/introducing-taffia.html
Monday, 25 February 2008. You've heard of our Italian cousins, the Mafia? Well, we're the Taffia. The difference? 1) The Mafia tend to be papists and we're Calvinists and 2) We're Welsh. Got it? The point is this, dis the Welsh and we put you in our black book. So if you don't fancy sleeping with the fishes, lay off the late great Doctor Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Derek Thomas and any other Welsh evangelicals. We know where you live. Capiche, boyo? 25 February 2008 at 18:10. 25 February 2008 at 23:40. Look, jus...

The Taffia Godfather: From the hidden Taffia archives
http://daicorleone.blogspot.com/2008/02/from-hidden-taffia-archives.html
Wednesday, 27 February 2008. From the hidden Taffia archives. This is a transcript of a hitherto secret conversation* between Doc Martyn Lloyd-Jones, the 20th century's biggest Taffia don and Dai Corleone. DC: So, why d'ya wanna meet me, Doc? ML-J: Well, it's like this Dia, I'm not gonna go on for ever, y'know and I need to make sure that the firm is gonna be in safe hands when I retire. DC: But how is Welsh evangelicalism gonna manage when that happens? ML-J: Don't worry, I've gotta plan. Would irresist...

The Taffia Godfather: Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer
http://daicorleone.blogspot.com/2008/02/keep-your-friends-close-but-your.html
Tuesday, 26 February 2008. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. You may be wondering why I allowed a member of the family to speak. To Trueman. But as Michael says, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." Every man has his price and we now know that the Englishman can be bought for a ticket to the next Led Zepplin tour. If you thought that they aren't going to tour again, well we're gonna make them an offer they can't refuse. Labels: More Taffia Stuff. View my complete profile.

As Kingfishers Catch Fire: January 2012
http://vickyparsons.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
As Kingfishers Catch Fire. Thoughts from an ordinary woman. UNCOVER: see for yourself. Monday, 30 January 2012. A thought from my diary. Vanity makes a woman weak. She also has only so much strength; after it is used up all that's left is a dried out husk. Is it not sadly so with many women who were once young beauties? They are now weak, but most of all, they are fools. Cultivating a beautiful soul is paramount not just for remaining beautiful in old age but to that eternal joy when we will be completel...

As Kingfishers Catch Fire: Prayer Pressure
http://vickyparsons.blogspot.com/2012/09/prayer-pressure.html
As Kingfishers Catch Fire. Thoughts from an ordinary woman. UNCOVER: see for yourself. Saturday, 29 September 2012. I’m tempted to think that the act of praying is one thing, but on top of that there’s a pressure. A pressure to really mean. My prayers. And so I leave prayer meetings with furrowed brows and sage nods and an intangible fear that I wasn’t ‘engaged’ enough. Perhaps – Oh dear – I was just ’going through the motions.’. Well surely I need to match that intensity – emotionally speaking! Glen Scr...

As Kingfishers Catch Fire: October 2014
http://vickyparsons.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
As Kingfishers Catch Fire. Thoughts from an ordinary woman. UNCOVER: see for yourself. Wednesday, 8 October 2014. As greens turn to golds and blazing reds I'm facing a new start in the city. But times are a changin' and an autumn breeze is carrying me off to Munich. The rolling hills of the low country will soon be ironed out and a quiet, neighbourly village life will turn into a spaghetti of constant sound and anonymous bodies. So stay tuned. You never know what might sneak its way onto this blog. Aweso...

As Kingfishers Catch Fire: June 2013
http://vickyparsons.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
As Kingfishers Catch Fire. Thoughts from an ordinary woman. UNCOVER: see for yourself. Sunday, 16 June 2013. Needlework and the Tailor. It's the domestic hazard of 'growing up Christian'. I can tick all the boxes and score high marks on a Bible comprehension exercise, but unless I am in love with the One who is Wisdom then it becomes a knowedge for the conceited. Then you've got LG imploring you with his recurring 'don't you see? And they just won't leave me alone. Because what I really need. Needlework ...
