Sorry to hear of Jesse Jackson's passing, what an absolute star he was. Unlike some influential figures today, he rightly and powerfully supported the marginalised in the USA.
nytimes.com The New York Times @nytimes.com · 16h
Jesse Jackson, whose impassioned oratory and vision of a “rainbow coalition” of the poor and forgotten made him the nation's most influential Black figure in the years between the civil rights crusades of Martin Luther King Jr. and the election of Barack Obama, died on Tuesday at 84. Follow live.

It's a lovely sunny morning, so it was a surprise to see a snow warning from the Met Office.

I'm posting to JHM a bit more frequently again now. Today's Image of the Day is a brewery plaque in Cirencester's Cricklade Street.

I'm glad to see that Bluesky has now introduced a drafts function so you can save an unfinished post and come back to it later. Hopefully this means fewer typos from me and more clarity for my readers. Now when you start a new post you can post it or save as a draft.

I've been struggling to keep up with things like tax returns recently, and car insurance and, and, and. The world demands ever more effort on such things and my capacity to get them done has been noticeably shrinking.

I'm just starting work on the gift of prophet to add to my series on activating the church. I hope to get that done by early next week.

Ebley Mill, a fantastic old building. I've walked past it many times on the canal towpath between The Ocean and the centre of Stroud. Love it!

The more you look at this one, the more strange it seems - surreal in several ways at once.

Here's another post on the themes of who we are being more fundamental than what we do.

He’s the alpha and omega, first and last, top and bottom; the church begins in him and ends in him. He saves us and now supports us but he also commands us; we are complete in him, but withou…

Sand shifts, to put up a lasting structure you can't just build directly on the beach.

Today, another post from Yara, she (like all Ukrainians) is suffering great hardship daily and I want all my friends to have a chance to read her message and see her photos too.

A year ago - I posted this article about #truth and #facts. They matter, A lot. A year ago I had no idea how MUCH they matter; but they do, they really do...

Truth and facts
Physical facts can often be pinned down rather well by careful measurement using accurate instruments; but there are other kinds of fact and some of those may be much harder to assess.

If you are following Jesus you need to understand that he's the foundation and you are part of a structure (the church) that stands on that foundation. It's who you are!

I listened to most of Mark Carney's speech live, and all of it later with my wife. Mark Carney spoke really well, so did Sir Keir Starmer a few days ago. I listened to that speech a second time with my wife and two good friends from St Neots who were visiting us.

If you have not already listened to Mark Carney's excellent speech at Davos, then you should. This is a political and economic statement built on truth, justice, wisdom and experience. Don't miss it.
