Details about the synchroblog and how to join in are below. Anyone can link up if you’ve written something on waiting. Alternatively, you can write a poem, like mine, based on what you’ve been waiting for all your life.

Extrovert Problems, Enneagram and Creativity
Today I’m telling you about two opportunities to hear my voice: a 30 seconds or less clip (hilariously, longer than 30 seconds) and an interview for TWR Christian Broadcasters.
Listening Closely {Christianity and Creativity series}
John Blase is a rarity on the Internet: a thoughtful, Christian poet. I was introduced to him via his Advent meditation book, Touching Wonder, which retells the Christmas story vividly through the eyes of the various personae. (In a non-cheesy way). It should definitely be on your Advent wishlist. It is an honour to have […]
Learning to play {Christianity and Creativity series}

Where creative meets Creator {Christianity and Creativity series}

What Being a PhD Student Taught Me about ‘Being Creative’: Reflections from a Former Artist
I met Sara Schumacher back when she was still an artist, before academic study lured her into Scotland’s cold reaches. She is one of the masterminds behind Transpositions, a whole website of rich resources on precisely this topic: Christianity and Creativity. She is not only a practitioner but an expert in this area, and I […]
