Blue Sky Thinking - Almost Saved!

Now this is a totally accurate piece of thinking:


Yep - you're either in or out: The choice is yours and yours alone ;-)

Blue Sky Thinking - Not Them!

Here's one I get to ask on a regular basis - oddly (and rather sadly too) they always have a 'good' reason - Let's hope Jesus thinks so!

Blue Sky Thinking - Answers

Now here's one for theist and non-theist alike - for in both camps I find people who are so assured of why they should (and, sadly, why others shouldn't) because they have failed to engage with this 'first rule' thinking:

Blue Sky Thinking - Inclusivity

This is one of those thoughts that has caused a fair bit of dialogue - but perhaps that's because what it says is real!

Now that's a thought in itself, innit?

Blue Sky Thinking - Blame

Listening to the radio today it seems that some are looking at the Malaysian air disaster and asking the question, 'Who is to blame - who can we sue?'

Aren't people funny?

Blue Sky Thought - Lent (2)

It's about now that the 'I've given up brigade' start to become just a little  . . . . . .   (insert your word here) as having made it past the first weekend (and often indulged in what they've given up because Sundays are outside of Lent) the Pharisee in all of us begins to bite.

Blue Sky Thought - Fasting

I love this thought because it's so very true.

Fasting is not about giving up stuff but clearing the decks and taking the time to ensure that the foundations upon which the spiritual house that we are is sound and trustworthy:
