Bunsen and the Bible. A scientist reflects on life, the church and scripture. Monday, April 30, 2012. A Psalm 23 paraphrase for the family of a sailor. The Lord is my Skipper. With apologies to Psalm 23 and gratitude to the family of the late Bill Fraser). The Lord is my skipper, I shall not want. He leads me to the best spots, where the fish abound;. He sails me into calm bays; he restores my soul. He guides me through the markers for his reputation’s sake. And I shall sail on his ship forever.

Bunsen and the Bible. A scientist reflects on life, the church and scripture. Wednesday, October 22, 2014. An interesting model for Christian Leadership. Yesterday, Nick Cave and the Bad Seed's live version of "The Ship Song" came to the top of my MP3 playing list (https:/ www.youtube.com/watch? The piece starts with Cave on the piano, playing the melody. The band work off the melody and the groove is established, this takes almost a minute in some versions. I find this an intriguing model for the way th...

Bunsen and the Bible. A scientist reflects on life, the church and scripture. Tuesday, December 4, 2012. My new garden experiment. One of the problems with growing vegetables in the dry tropics is that salad vegetables thrive in the winter, but tend to struggle in summer. Thus I have spent a bit of time this year looking into watering systems and have settled on wicking beds as a good line of inquiry. The inventor is an Australian, his webpage is http:/ waterright.com.au/index.html. A drill with 10mm bit.

Bunsen and the Bible. A scientist reflects on life, the church and scripture. Saturday, July 11, 2009. How do we treat a blank cheque? It's not usual for me to post sermon notes here - particularly now I work off dot points, but I feel this one asks some questions that are worth distributing, so I hope anyone who reads it finds it useful. 2 Samuel 6:1-5, 12b-19. How do we treat a blank cheque? But gifts are a big part of today's stories:. How do we respond to a gift of such magnitude from our creator?

Bunsen and the Bible. A scientist reflects on life, the church and scripture. Monday, August 9, 2010. A theology of rest. In the lead-up to last week's sermon I was reminded of some "Cash Converters" advertisements that depicted people with object-shaped holes in their torsos. Other people would sell their unwanted items and thus get money and fill the holes in these people's lives. I know it's horribly simplistic, but how many products and things try to be the hole in our lives? Now for some good advice:.

Bunsen and the Bible. A scientist reflects on life, the church and scripture. Monday, December 20, 2010. I have been reading "This We Believe" by William H. Willimon. I have found this a refreshing and challenging summary of Wesleyan theology and practice, and was pleasantly surprised by the end of his section on salvation:. Here is the faint stirring of a Wesleyan ecological theology. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The conditions for life. View my complete profile. Other blogs I read.

Bunsen and the Bible. A scientist reflects on life, the church and scripture. Sunday, March 18, 2012. Once again, retreat provoked my poetic side, but this time it came out when I was preparing the liturgy for Sunday. Here's the approach to communion:. It was another day, another night. Jesus gathered with those he had called. Ordinary people, gathered together by the amazing and transformed. It was another day, another night. The meal was over what was left on the table was bread and wine.

I recently took a question box into a class of fifty Grade 4/5 students that I teach each week. These are the questions that get put in the box: see how you go, maybe they'll make you think as hard as I have. Why is the Dead Sea filled with salt? You are 46 years old (statement - stop laughing Josie! When did you first start believing in God? Are you strong and brave?

Bunsen and the Bible. A scientist reflects on life, the church and scripture. Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Those of you who know me from college would know that one of the things I was really looking forward to doing once in placement was establishing a vegetable garden - I suppose three years of surviving on institutional food can do that to you! So, over the last few weeks (Wow, it's been that long already! So, what is this doing in my faith-based blog? I often see Christian leadership as a gardening f...
