This rug and this mug both hail from Texas 🇺🇸 I’m watching reno shows ‘Fixer Upper’ and ‘The Block’ as I recover on day 4 from a severe case of gastro 🤢 Hopefully I can manage some writing tomorrow... a deadline is looming 👩🏽‍💻

The best morning tea break means a melting moment 🙌🏼 I love having this set of illuminated Bible journals on my desk, and each volume is light enough to take out on the road 🎒 They are designed by @dana_tanamachi and you should totally check out her art 🎨

Wonderful conference on the weekend with keynote speakers Paula Gooder and Jude Long and 21 women presenting papers. All on the theme of ‘Grounded: in the Body, in Time and Place and in Scripture’. Highlights from the keynotes: 🌏 Dr Paula Gooder bringing new dimension to the Biblical meaning of the words: body, flesh, soul and spirit (Note: Paul wasn’t Platonic in his thinking) 🌏Paula on using the imagination in Biblical interpretation... it’s a vital and valid tool that allows you into the cracks... oh and we do it anyway (e.g. nativity plays) For me, this connects well with the shift many are making towards lectio divina - something I’m working on this month 🌏 Jude Long - “When our theology is grounded we have an opportunity to transform individuals and churches” 🌏 Jude also got me thinking about how to be grounded in a place/home that is temporary. She mentioned Paul who moved around a lot but he was a correspondent 📝

“There’s a new generation of people igniting the practices of Jesus to be formed by Jesus. People are realising the charismatic download doesn’t actually download character formation and the fruit of the Spirit. They are realising that is not a downloadable thing, that’s a formational thing... You download the power of the Holy Spirit and there’s joy, there’s intimacy, there’s power healing, there’s the gifts of the Holy Spirit but the Bible is very clear that character is formed not through Holy Spirit moments but through Holy Spirit processes.” - Ger Jones Yesterday I interviewed @gerjones in a cafe and I’m pretty sure Melbourne’s won him over with the coffee ☕️ He’s from @vintagechurchla - the 3rd largest ACNA church in the USA. Ger’s in Australia for a couple of weeks, touring with @alphaaustralia ❓ If you get a chance to see him, DO!
