River. Forest. Abbey.
The River Bann has long been a place of refuge for me. As a Venture Scout, I learned its rhythms from the seat of a canoe—the quiet pull of the current, the soft slap of water against the hull, the sense that the river always knew where it was going. I found the same calm… Continue reading

Berries. Stones. Songs.
There are moments when ancient scripture meets the landscapes that formed us, and something quietly transformative happens. This newly written hymn, inspired by Psalm 137, does exactly that—taking the ache of exile and setting it among the Glens of Antrim, where memory, belonging, and spiritual resonance run deep. Rather than retelling the psalm’s sorrow in… Continue reading

Machines. Mercy. Meaning.
In the long, measured hours of dialysis, I began to notice how healing is carried not only by machines and medicine, but by the people who sit beside us, the families who steady us, and the landscape we carry within. This hymn‑poem grew from that stillness—a way of naming the courage found in ordinary care,… Continue reading

Language. Matters. Always.
Worship isn’t a slogan. It’s a rhythm of truth. Christians worship the Triune God — not instead of creation, not against people, but through love that holds all things together. When language gets loud, clarity matters more than ever. Continue reading

Candle. Rhythm. Mercy.
A morning reflection on readiness, quiet encouragement, and the grace of rising together when the signal comes. The readings for this morning—Psalm 111, 1 Maccabees 7:1–20, and John 13:21–30—carry a strange tension. Praise and betrayal. Courage and compromise. A candlelit room where someone slips out into the dark. And yet, the psalmist begins with a… Continue reading
