Dietrich Bonhoeffer says:
Revival of church life always brings in its train a richer understanding of the Scriptures. Behind all the slogans and catchwords of ecclesiastical controversy, necessary though they are, there arises a more determined quest for him who is the sole object of it all, for Jesus Christ himself.The Cost of Discipleship, 1937, (New York: Touchstone, 1995), 35.
What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us to-day? How can he help us be good Christians in the modern world? In the last resort, what we want to know is not, what would this or that man, or this or that Church, have of us, but what Jesus Christ himself wants of us.
And... a video of the beautiful flight patterns of starlings (you may learn a new word too!) Best watched on full screen.
And... finally a song that blessed me recently: 'Knees to the earth' by Watermark.

I know this is a ramble, but I'm trying to kick-start a more regular blog output!
