I’m taking a break from this blog for the next few months. I’ll see where I’m at in July, but the combination of work pressures, personal circumstances and a feeling of being stuck in a rut have got me thinking that it’s worth taking a breather for a while. I might post sporadically, but I [ READ MORE ]

// sunday music: spring

Okay, three miscellaneous picks that made me think of Spring this week, in celebration of the fact that the sun has come out.

Okay, this week’s sunday music is coming from the new Hillsong United album “Aftermath”, which I know a significant amount of the readers of this blog have probably already heard. If you haven’t, though, it’s well worth a listen – you can hear the full thing on grooveshark here. The last Hillsong United studio album [ READ MORE ]

// freedom

So you know how Paul once reminded people in a letter that it was for freedom that Christ set them free? That they should stand firm, and not let themselves be burdened by a yoke of slavery? And you remember how Jesus himself told us to come to him if we were weary and burdened, [ READ MORE ]
