Ruth Gee

In a somewhat crazy and frightening world, I thank God for those who, like Bishop Mariann Budde, have courage and integrity. I pray for their protection, wherever they are and whether widely known or faithfully and quietly persevering.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

@jessphillipsmp.bsky.social is magnificent.. smart, brave, totally committed and effective. Why is it the power men feel the need to attack the good ones?

That is some achievement, it looks lovely. I hope today goes well.

Since the early years of our marriage I have been forbidden to decorate. Rightly so, as I made a complete mess of it. This restriction has given me nothing but joy!
However, today things have changed…

Beautiful photos.

It’s hard when you are a distance away. Prayers for all of you.

Thanks. We sang your Advent hymn this morning. I wasn’t leading worship today but will use it again when I am in a couple of weeks.

Each week in Advent I will offer a short reflection.

Back to a reasonable level for this time of year. Some of our neighbours on the other side of the river had a difficult time yesterday as it goes over on that side first. Quite a lot of flooding on the roads this morning as I drove to Gresford but all passable with care.
Thanks for asking.

The river is full, fast and furious.

Driving home after a really good meeting in Walsingham with members of the Methodist and Roman Catholic Dialogue.

I just thought “that’s the wrong way round”

I’m so fortunate to live here.

Bore da! Im going to Dolgellau to lead worship this morning. A beautiful drive to a beautiful town in Eryri (Snowdonia), in the shadow of Cader Idris.

You are so young. I’m expecting to fall off the scale soon!

I might follow your example. It usually works for me.

It is a special city for me too.

Keyboard, Bible and commentary.

Pausing from sermon writing to feel guilty about not ironing a duvet cover. Time is too short.
