As Kingfishers Catch Fire: January 2012
http://vickyparsons.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
As Kingfishers Catch Fire. Thoughts from an ordinary woman. UNCOVER: see for yourself. Monday, 30 January 2012. A thought from my diary. Vanity makes a woman weak. She also has only so much strength; after it is used up all that's left is a dried out husk. Is it not sadly so with many women who were once young beauties? They are now weak, but most of all, they are fools. Cultivating a beautiful soul is paramount not just for remaining beautiful in old age but to that eternal joy when we will be completel...

As Kingfishers Catch Fire: Prayer Pressure
http://vickyparsons.blogspot.com/2012/09/prayer-pressure.html
As Kingfishers Catch Fire. Thoughts from an ordinary woman. UNCOVER: see for yourself. Saturday, 29 September 2012. I’m tempted to think that the act of praying is one thing, but on top of that there’s a pressure. A pressure to really mean. My prayers. And so I leave prayer meetings with furrowed brows and sage nods and an intangible fear that I wasn’t ‘engaged’ enough. Perhaps – Oh dear – I was just ’going through the motions.’. Well surely I need to match that intensity – emotionally speaking! Glen Scr...

As Kingfishers Catch Fire: October 2014

As Kingfishers Catch Fire. Thoughts from an ordinary woman. UNCOVER: see for yourself. Wednesday, 8 October 2014. As greens turn to golds and blazing reds I'm facing a new start in the city. But times are a changin' and an autumn breeze is carrying me off to Munich. The rolling hills of the low country will soon be ironed out and a quiet, neighbourly village life will turn into a spaghetti of constant sound and anonymous bodies. So stay tuned. You never know what might sneak its way onto this blog. Aweso...

As Kingfishers Catch Fire: June 2013
http://vickyparsons.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
As Kingfishers Catch Fire. Thoughts from an ordinary woman. UNCOVER: see for yourself. Sunday, 16 June 2013. Needlework and the Tailor. It's the domestic hazard of 'growing up Christian'. I can tick all the boxes and score high marks on a Bible comprehension exercise, but unless I am in love with the One who is Wisdom then it becomes a knowedge for the conceited. Then you've got LG imploring you with his recurring 'don't you see? And they just won't leave me alone. Because what I really need. Needlework ...

As Kingfishers Catch Fire: I'm an alien
http://vickyparsons.blogspot.com/2014/11/im-alien.html
As Kingfishers Catch Fire. Thoughts from an ordinary woman. UNCOVER: see for yourself. Saturday, 22 November 2014. Ice skating. An unlikely occasion to feel like the lime-green alien again who's just landed from Mars. We've all had a go at some point. You know what I'm talking about, right? Just one of the many hilarious pseudo-anglicisms.). Now let me explain what a German ice rink is all about. I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien.". I mean, I haven't done this for a few years, but I'm sure I'll get the han...

As Kingfishers Catch Fire: August 2012
http://vickyparsons.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
As Kingfishers Catch Fire. Thoughts from an ordinary woman. UNCOVER: see for yourself. Saturday, 25 August 2012. Warning: graduate in transition. Time lurches on and I'm just beginning to feel the effects of transition. No longer a student, I enter the graduate realm of unemployment and sarcastically-framed comments on the use of my degree. Well, almost. For those who know nothing about the Relay discipleship and training scheme, I suggest you look here. Amazingly though, my anxiety levels are low. T...

As Kingfishers Catch Fire: March 2012
http://vickyparsons.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
As Kingfishers Catch Fire. Thoughts from an ordinary woman. UNCOVER: see for yourself. Thursday, 15 March 2012. Seeing ourselves as we really are. Although the title and frequent use of the term 'self-esteem' is somewhat misleading, for I think there is a difference between low self-esteem and godly humility, here's a snippet from an article by TGC which I think highlights what is often wrong with my own view of self and key Bible figures. From TGC: The Beauty of Low Self-Esteem. Sunday, 11 March 2012.

As Kingfishers Catch Fire. Thoughts from an ordinary woman. UNCOVER: see for yourself. Sunday, 5 February 2012. Naked Christianity: Uncovering the life changing message of Jesus. Warwick CU's mission week starts bright and early tomorrow at 8am with prayer. It'll be an entire week of extra events aiming to bring the gospel to every student on campus, whether through apologetics over lunch, evening talks on Luke's gospel, text-a-toastie to halls of residence, or Globe café for internationals. Most of the ...

As Kingfishers Catch Fire. Thoughts from an ordinary woman. UNCOVER: see for yourself. UNCOVER: see for yourself. Do you want to know the truth. Are you someone who has to see before you believe. Do you prefer to weigh up. Then 'Uncover' is for you. A controversial do-gooder, a looney who said he was the Son of God, a great story-teller, a revolutionary; whatever you may think, or whatever you may have heard or read about Jesus, it's time to cut away the assumptions and face the facts. Les Davey de France.
