Word of the day, for the umpteenth time, is ‘apricate’, the sister of ‘apricity’. It means to bask in the warmth of the sun, especially on a chilly day.

Love this. What if we all took a moment today to reach out to someone who’s been on our mind? A small gesture that makes a BIG difference.

St. Andrew, Methodist Church, Pump Street, Worcs. You have to believe in the incarnation to build a staircase like this.

(Designed by Arthur E. Buss. According to whom, the window symbolises “the progress of the soul, from doubts and difficulties, through fire and light”)

When you're greeted by this beautiful glowing sunset as you turn to evening prayer you can't help but be in awe of God's creation. 🌄❤️🙏

Trump is attacking a bishop for suggesting that he show mercy to fearful people, the marginalized, immigrants, and children.

Yet, Trump pardoned 1500 convicted felons, including those who violently attacked police officers.

This tells us much about what to expect going forward.
