I was leading our Sweetchurch Service on Sunday, and I began by reading a prayer entitled ‘Welcome to the Sabbath’. I’ve had so many comments about it that I thought I’d post it up for you all to see: I know it seems a bit weird to be ‘welcoming the Sabbath’ on a Wednesday, but most [...]

Well, last week was a real doozy (I’m not really sure what a ‘doozy’ is, but I’ve always wanted to use the word and it feels kinda good!). It all started with PeanutM&M returning from Pre-school with a drawing of a dinosaur, a ‘Beware Nits’ letter & a stomach virus, which, being a generous boy, [...]

It was the Sweetchurch Weekend not long ago – 3 days of teaching, worship and a big-fat-roast-dinner. YUM. One of the lovely people who cooked said big-fat-roast-dinner was our lovely Sweetgrandpa (he peels a good spud). And he clearly found favour in someone’s eyes as he was also made ‘Chief of Tea and Coffee’ at break [...]

Hold onto your hats…here they come… Cold dark nights + trash TV = a lazy Sweetmumma (Simon Cowell, I hold you entirely [...]

Sweetmumma is good at many things: making stuff out of junk, cooking a mean toad-in-the-hole, writing stories in which PeanutM&M is the star, eating large quantities of cake etc etc… Ah, when will I learn? Since we came back from holiday, life has been more than usually hectic. Partly circumstances. Partly organisation. The only reason [...]

This morning I was speaking at my Sweetchurch on the Book of Ruth. What fun! Despite not wanting to get out of bed and then having my pre-church read-through accompanied by the harmonious sounds of a screaming Sweetie (happy scream, but high pitched nonetheless!) and a harmonica playing Peanut, I made it through the talk [...]

Meet Herman: He’s my new ‘baby’, a gift from M&M to yours truly (an adoption which took place courtesy of a Sweetfriend from the other side of the pond, via a ‘Gap Year’ fund-raising auction). A brown, smelly, sludgy baby; but a fabulous one nonetheless. Herman is a friendship cake (aka Amish cake, aka Herman [...]
