At the Name of Jesus, Advent Day 1
For this Advent season I will be sharing a little artwork based on names of Jesus in the Bible, and relevant verses to ponder.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6 NIV)
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:27 NIV)

BOOK LAUNCH and other news…
Dear All,
First off, my apologies for going fairly quiet. We’ve had all kinds of manure hitting the fan over here and it’s been all about just waiting till things have settled down… but though I’ve been quiet, I’ve not been idle.
WHALE SONG: Choosing Life with Jonah, my new book, is out today! Do have a mooch on
to check it out and see if it might be for you. You can also find my book Positive Sisterhood there, as well as download my ebook Christian Prayers for the World for free.
Advent begins tomorrow along with a new series here on my blog, contemplating the names of Jesus. And in the New Year we will be starting something completely different. At the moment that is called “In the Slow Lane” and will be a thought for the day, possibly featuring my favourite mystics, snails.
Thanks for sticking with me, and Advent blessings to you all!
Love,
Keren x

Landscape of Love 102: Adventure Playground
“Scope for imagination” a-plenty: walking planks and setting sail, exploring and climbing high, lost in another world the grown-ups cannot enter, having long forgotten the password. Here are lost boys and foundling girls, fairies and sprites, caught in caverns and towers. Up and down, round and back, sliding and swinging through air woven thick with fantasy. Dragons and heroes abound, orangutans swing and sing, everyone out of breath and zinging with fun. Mountains of make-believe, the sacred ground of play, too holy for sandals. You must be this short, to enjoy the ride.
