Noah’s Nuggets???
A while back I posted some marvellous "wash away your sins" soap. I never got round to getting some – I’m now kicking myself for not remembering to buy a bottle on a recent trip to the States.
Now I discover*, amazing but true , that you can buy a totally Biblical treat, and munch More...

AnneDroid tells an amusing story about cooking lunch for a judge with a recipe from the prison…

The IDEAS of March
Last week I posted about a local cultural event which will take place in Cambridge on 15th march – the date known as the Ides of March. There was a soothsayer in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar who went about intoning "Beware the Ides of March", and it came to pass that it was on the Ides More...
winter
It’s that hibernation time of year again. Christmas is over, and now it’s just a couple of months of cold, wet, dark, until the signs of Spring will emerge. My body may want to get up and go to bed with the sun, but a go-slow is not an option in term time. Term More...

trees
I love trees. They inspire me, make me feel good to be alive. I love them in winter, when they stand stark against a pale sky. I love them at twilight when they look full of secrets. In the spring when the light yellow green leaves begin, the freshness of that colour seems full of More...
stuff happens
I was searching the web this morning for a Simone Weil quote which I had written down without its reference. As so often happens with such searches, I came across something that had nothing whatever to do with what I was looking for but happened to be on the same page. This made me laugh More...
Five Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Me
"You’re going to love me or hate me,…" writes Roger von Oech, as he tags me this morning with this little meme. It’s impossible to hate Roger, the brains behind the Whack Pack. So I have no choice but to break the habit of a blogtime and join in the game.

Maggi has kept a blog since September 2003, writing about theology and faith, the arts and literature, and a little about life and random nonsense...
This title focuses on the importance of understanding who God is - and who he is not. It explores the core Lenten idea of 'giving up', taking it beyond the traditional idea of simply abstaining from something.
