This is an example of the established press failing to report truthfully. When truth has lost its currency, society is vulnerable

We need to highlight the quiet unappreciated heroes of our society and mute some of the self publicists. A true, medical science role model Katalin Kariko!

We spend the first 9 months of our existence surrounded by the nurturing ebb and flow of water in the womb. The ocean draws us back there….

Lord Foulkes is correctly castigating the BBC for stirring up chaos outside Downing St. while ignoring corruption in political funding of Reform. Wes Streeting has resigned and put his personal ambition above the NHS. Cool heads needed !

What a beautiful depiction of mother love! The 14th century mystic Julian of Norwich, whose feast day was a few days ago, refers to God as depicting Mother love - in my mind, this is what she means.

Caroline Lucas of the Green Party reckons that Water needs to be Renationalised. RT if you know it has to be.

I am not a member of any political party but it was refreshing to hear Zack Polanski (Green Party leader) answering the questions clearly and responding with politeness and courtesy to Laura K.

The discovery of a new Codex H manuscript of the letters of Paul has shown how 6th century monks made corrections and annotations to the text. This should be food for thought for the sola scriptural literalists. news.artnet.com/art-world/me...

If this is true then the Labour Party should hang its head in shame

The River Avon a couple of miles from Bristol. What a beautiful world we have !

The collapse of AMOC would be the defining event of the next century and represents an existential threat to humanity. We need wise leaders who will take this seriously….

Check out this from We Own It. weownit.org.uk/act-now/ofwa...

youtu.be/XweSQradRXs Joshua Luke Smith. This young poet deserves to be better known. Some powerful words ….

The beauty of April and Restronguet Creek in Cornwall. Enjoy!

Patients contributing to their own notes ? - excellent idea and a cheap way of improving the sometimes awful NHS communication

This is another of the hidden obscenities of war. Big business makes money out of war. It is shameful!

A powerful statement for honesty and integrity! An essential role of artists and musicians and poets in society.

On 8th April 1945, theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer was hanged, aged 39 yrs, in Flossenburg Concentration camp. He wrote; “The will of God …..is that men should defeat their enemies by loving them.” (The Cost of Discipleship) This is wisdom our current political leaders should ponder on!

"God is not the tyrannical puppeteer of the universe, pulling every string so that all must dance to the divine tune alone, but rather the Creator is the God whose nature of love is patient and subtle in an open and developing way, in which the creatures themselves collaborate."

This is absolutely beautiful!

This lovely picture of our beautiful planet was taken from Artemis II last week. How important it is for us to cherish both our planet and each other!

Easter Saturday- the cross is empty…..

Today is the anniversary of the assassination of the American pastor Martin Luther King in 1968. King once said, “We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools". On this Easter Saturday, we must remember the powerful love of forgiveness.

ApparentlyTrump says countries like UK should 'build up delayed courage' and secure the Strait of Hormuz. There is absolutely no way King Charles should visit USA in the context of this irresponsible talk and abuse of the allied forces.

Good advice on preventative cardiology

In 1949, philosopher/historian Herbert Butterfield wrote of the flaw in human nature (described as the messianic hoax) which stated,” Just one little war more against the last remaining enemies of righteousness and then the world will be cleansed and we can start rebuilding Paradise”. Prescient !

There is something awesome and beautiful about waves thundering onto the shore. This is the lovely north coast in County Antrim.

British mainstream media is dominated by right wing agenda that doesnt seem to value truth. Here Peter Oborne highlights the importance of international law. www.patreon.com/posts/152598...

Lectio 365 today celebrated the feast day of Desert Mother Syncletica of Alexandria. Her wisdom was counter to today’s culture of excessive elevation of leaders, she wrote “ Just as wax melts when it is near fire, so the soul is destroyed by praise and loses all the results of its labour”.

The foolishness of man is profound. The first strike landed on a girls primary school in Iran. 165 reported killed. Inept AI makes this foolishness even more deadly. We need some wise leaders not slick amoral AI algorithms.

Beautiful Bristol highlights the awfulness of suicide in this powerful artwork on Jacob’s Wells Rd. Placed there in 2020 to commemorate Suicide Prevention Day. It is called, “Bear with Me”…..

This is the core message of the Christian faith that is often lost - absolutely nothing can separate us from God’s love!

This is a really helpful and important post. Tics in Tourette syndrome are completely involuntary. Sufferers need our compassion not condemnation.

A message to myself from an old hero of mine, “If we find ourselves becoming critical of other people we should stop examining them, and start examining ourselves.” Professor William Barclay

Thankfully common sense has prevailed and the British principle of free speech is protected! Well done High Court judges!!

There are many things I love about Bristol- including advertising that you are the last pub for 22 yards!

Today we celebrate Rosa Parks- born this day in 1913, we celebrate her humility and determination for racial justice. We need to also remember the wise counsel of Micah nearly 3 thousand years earlier who told us how we should behave- with justice, mercy and humility.

Beauty is all around us! Thanks to my friend Miffy for this picture of oil in a puddle in a car park in Bristol.

Sadly the “Henri Nouwen”posts are leaving Bluesky. Those of us who respect this wise man must try to keep them going in his memory. The world needs to listen to such a humble, wise voice!

Great picture summarising the work of Bristol Street Pastors. Bristol.streetpastors.org.uk

Thanks Weird Bristol! Light hearted relief from life’s realities!

Donald Trump should be ashamed of himself and owes an apology to allied troops!

Aurora Borealis in beautiful Bristol - who would have thought it possible!

“If someone thinks he knows something, he does not yet know to the degree that he needs to know. But if someone loves God, he is known by God.” — ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭8‬:‭2‬-‭3‬‬ Wise words from 2000 years ago

Martin Luther King Jr was born on 15th January 1929 in the segregated south of the USA. In his most famous speech, he told of his dream where one day children will be judged “not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”. A lesson still not learnt!

An illegal act in breach of the UN charter article 2(4) - how is this acceptable? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Let us make 2026 a year when we are kind to each other including ourselves !
