I have found and read something anthemic for the new year. And so to pray that I meet the path ahead on my knees, remembering the holy ones who have lifted my chin so often. Too long I have undervalued the wonders and pains in my own experience, all graces from God.
That moment between keeping the feast and holding the new year before the Lord.
LOTR on boxing day with the tribe helps.

Settling into #clergymaltclub with a special from Aldi. Well done to all my brothers and sisters in ministry. One more push and breathe into grace. As always. Cheers.
Excellent comments from @petewilcox.bsky.social on the assisted dying bill.

Seriously (I know this is touchy)... can someone outline the rationale for this? (I mean something more than "think of the children" from either direction). From the persepctive of this technology-aware, real-world person only incidentally affected... it seems a little quioxitic, at best.

Maybe the Other Place does get it right some time. Cue Musk's grok AI...
The advent tradition of sharing this (from psephizo.com) continues:

It'll just go the way of threads in the end methinks.
And I'm actually using grok at the moment as a useful tool!
I'm in the process of winding up my (old and tired) blog. I had published since 2008; but it has remained untouched since 2022.
I've brought a few of the more pertinent posts (the only ones that I've really continued to refer to) into a substack. willbriggs.substack.com/archive
