When I was a little girl I would hold my father's EP records up to the light

We do a number of weddings here at St David’s
and they are all lovely in their own particular ways.
The brides of assorted shapes and sizes are always beautiful, always aglow.
The grooms, no matter how alpha male and tough
are often struck still and tear filled at the sight of their bride
and their families, no matter how fractured and fraught are united,

I have done a number of pregnancy tests in my time and every time I did one

When my Gran was dying, late last year, she began to dance.
She didn’t dance intentionally and she didn’t dance consciously
and she was dressed only in her nighty but, despite all this,
she danced.
I had a friend once.
A tall willow of a man and he wrote a little poem called upside downside.
‘Don’t worry mum the worlds in a spin its an upside downside thing we’re in.’
Just a little poem, just a few words.
But I’ve always thought how relevant they are to followers of the gospel.
