The Way Home: March 2007
http://davidmeldrum.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
New writing and musings on faith, films, culture in general and whatever else takes our fancy. Monday, March 12, 2007. Walking Slowly Through The Crowd. There had been little in the way of attempts to make him stay at work – the standard good-natured jokes, the predictable collection he wasn’t supposed to know about, but in truth this was the sort of company that would cope perfectly well without him or most others. 8220;Come and see me ASAP.

The Way Home: April 2007
http://davidmeldrum.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
New writing and musings on faith, films, culture in general and whatever else takes our fancy. Thursday, April 19, 2007. Movies can achieve many things – they can wrap a warm blanket of comfort around you, they can help you escape, they can enable you to see things you would never have dreamt of seeing, they can open up large vistas of new ideas and experiences, they can take you back to a time when life was better and more simple, they can recreate the feelings of a happier time of life…. This, however,...

The Way Home: 28 Weeks Later
http://davidmeldrum.blogspot.com/2007/05/28-weeks-later.html
New writing and musings on faith, films, culture in general and whatever else takes our fancy. Tuesday, May 08, 2007. There won't be many big films this summer inspired by Aristotle. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, director. Says his is. The philosopher wrote that "rage occurs when a person gives back their own suffering". Whether you think that's mildly pretentious for a film of this nature is not the point; you like it or not, survivor guilt is all over this film in spades. The sequel to Danny Boyle's 2002 hit.

The Way Home: February 2007
http://davidmeldrum.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
New writing and musings on faith, films, culture in general and whatever else takes our fancy. Tuesday, February 27, 2007. There are moments when I can still hear the gentle reprimand, the loving rebuke. Always it would come in those moments of quiet, embarrassed realisation that I had forgotten something, left something out, overlooked it. “Slow down son. Stop and think. Be more careful, more thoughtful, more thorough.”. 8220;Is Rachel there? 8220;Not sure. High street I think.”. Too breathless to shout...

The Way Home: January 2007
http://davidmeldrum.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
New writing and musings on faith, films, culture in general and whatever else takes our fancy. Monday, January 29, 2007. Can you hear it? Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Life’s too busy; London’s too noisy; there’s always far too much going on. I never have time to… I can’t see you until… I haven’t had the chance to…. If city life is so bad, why do so many people live there? But who, apart from those who make money from their existence, celebrates cities now? There are many who bemoan cities ...

The Way Home: December 2006
http://davidmeldrum.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
New writing and musings on faith, films, culture in general and whatever else takes our fancy. Saturday, December 30, 2006. So the purpose here is to create some space to write, talk together and bat a few ideas around in the general areas of Christian sprituality, films, books, music, things happening in the real world.Does that sound like a good start? Let's see where we get to. More to come as this blog launches over the next few weeks. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Putney, London, United Kingdom.

SalvationsSongs: Bandwagons
http://salvationssongs.blogspot.com/2015/01/bandwagons.html
I will sing my Jesus' story, To Him all my heart belongs: I will sing of thorns and glory, I will sing Salvation's Songs. Saturday, January 10, 2015. In the light of the atrocities in Paris this week, I entirely want to associate with the French people, and with all who have suffered from terrorism. We are the same. We stand together. We are human beings. I'm just not sure about that. Still: no-one deserves what happened in that magazine office this week. I don't need to have read a copy of Charlie H...

SalvationsSongs: April 2015

I will sing my Jesus' story, To Him all my heart belongs: I will sing of thorns and glory, I will sing Salvation's Songs. Wednesday, April 29, 2015. I'm at the High Leigh conference centre in Hertfordshire for a four day gathering of church leaders from Oxford Diocese. The conference is entitled 'Leading Your Church into Growth', LYCiG for short. I'm here with Richard, lay reader in my Benefice, and we are leading worship through the week. But High Leigh has a different memory for me. I was almost at the...
