Thanks for all the birthday wishes. A year older but no wiser. Thinking session work, ministry and mission, the danger of overthinking and the gift of creativity. Plus a few encouraging verses from scripture. Oh and prayers for a football event…. #ministry #prayer #clergymum #creativity

Ministry is a whirlwind of activity and diary management. All good fun but there are only so many hours. But I love to give them away. Asked what I wanted for my birthday - more time! There is so much I want to do…enjoy today’s instalment and give it away - your life, your love and … #ministry #Christianity #clergymum

Ministry has become a voyage of discovery - well I suppose it always has been. Maybe old age is taking its toll! Some thoughts on being confident, the challenges of time such as Saturday meetings and other aspects to life. Can we, can I trust the potter? #ministry #learning #confidence.

It is super late but it is still Friday. Need to find my recording rhythm (I promise). A wee catch up on a week that has been jam packed but also very joyous. Celebrating lives, even in loss, and marking milestones. Blessings Sarah

The last update of the GA experience touching on highlights, questions about manses, CPD and whether one ever truly stops being in the parish…as well as remembering the gift of presence. Did the mood of the GA follow the weather? For my take on some of it (and remember at times I was distracted by other responsibilities) do have a listen along. Have a great weekend and catch you next Tuesday.

For those of you brave enough to listen to another minister ramble on here are my insights from today. May it bring you something to smile about and to pray about. At least it wasn’t all about the money! Quite a well balanced set of topics to be fair. #GA2024

This week they have made me leave the parish (though you’ll notice I sneak back!) so I’ll share with you the best I can some food for thought over the coming week. What is the purpose of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland? Keeping an open mind here! Honest. All welcome to join me on my field trip. God bless you. #GA2024 #ministry

The power of one, the presbytery plan and pushing the wrong button. It’s been quite a tough few days. But now I’m on annual leave so you get peace for a week or so. Back next Friday. Until then God bless you!

Welcome to Friday just back in the door from the party and sharing the bundle of joy that was was Wednesday, Thursday and Friday! Lots of fun and privilege. Thanks for joining with me again.

Unravelling - a good thing? Feeling under the weather but my mouth still works. Enjoy the wee thinkings as I debrief with you…and I hope you help recognise the nudges of the Spirit.
