Meditation from Sunday, 29 April 2012

And here’s your starter for ten today! What has reindeer husbandry in the Sami people of the Northern Periphery of the globe got to do with our text from John’s Gospel? Don’t all rush with the answer! What is the text about? Well it’s about the life of faith and it’s about Jesus and his [...]

Meditation, Sunday 15 April 2012

On 25 January, I was able to walk safely to a school and pick up my grandson who had spent the day, as he does most weekdays, learning in school. Calum told me that he had had haggis for school lunch because it was Burns Day. We then travelled by car the few miles to Raigmore [...]

The Man and the Birds, by Paul Harvey

#Ready by Sharon MacLeod at the Sunday Service in Lamlash, 4 December 2011 Now the man to whom I’m going to introduce you was not a scrooge.  He was a kind, decent, mostly good man, generous to his family and upright in his dealings with other men. But he just didn’t believe all that incarnation [...]
