Solve a recurring family argument for us. Which best fits the category ‘animal’: an eagle or a unicorn?

It’s #BoxingDay afternoon and I’m drinking Prosecco (“just to help make space in the fridge”) after putting away 17 different types of cheese. We all had pudding for breakfast.

It’s a fancy one for #clergymaltclub for me, courtesy of my big brother. It’s been tough going this week, but midnight communion made it all worth it.
Christ is here.

So lovely to be able to join my church carol service while sat at home with Tiny asleep, doing final prep for the services ahead.
English
Went to my first @NacoaUK event today. Felt a little like when I went to my first LGBTQ Christian event* - total strangers who nevertheless share a deep part of who you are.
*Except that night I met my other half. So not quite the same.

Mildly horrified to see this email land in my inbox today. I knew I had an organised colleague but...!
English
@MadsDavies That is really lovely (and makes me feel less nervous about entering the land of the school gates!)

Found Philippa’s kindness to this Mum feeling awkward at the schoolgates so touching.

I’m not looking forward to reading the #MakinReport but absolutely have to. Everyone with any position of power in the church, with includes local church leaders, must. We can’t look away.

Tiny has launched her trampoline fund. Heeding the advice always given to her Millennial parents, she is determined not to go to cafes any more, in order to save.
How many babyccinos do you think she’ll have to forgo to reach her target?

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
English
When she couldn’t remember which twin had done something at preschool today, Tiny referred to “Oscar-Slash-Ollie” which has strong “Ant-or-Dec” vibes.

@eleni_sibbald I'll be dressing as Elastigirl for our Saints & Heroes all age worship, and I'm not sure I'll ever live down standing up at the front all in lycra. I'm not sure the congregation will recover either. 😅
English
if you have any church related prayer requests (preaching, leading, showing up, staying home or anything else) I would love to pray for you in the morning
send me a message or drop a reply 💛

Christian twitter: from your own experiences, what would you want to say to a youth group on 'How to trust God'?

@PennyCE27 @alianoree You are gonna love preschool era. We were enjoying a peaceful moment to ourselves when L came bursting in with wild eyes and yelled: “I’m burying the cat!” and disappeared again. Didn’t even follow her - just trust it’ll be fine!

Why are toddlers so busy all the time? They walk around like a businessman late for a very important meeting but their intended activity is to play with some recycling and lick the wall?? Make it make sense
English
If you had a 30 year old bear with soft stuffing who needed a very good clean before she could be enjoyed by a new generation, how would you go about it?

English
We now have an amazing 205 signatories from the breadth of the Church of England. I’d love to make it 250 by Monday so please share, share, share!

I spent this afternoon with a friend. We walked from his house into this city.
Who will be the first here to name the city? 😀
English
Do we all just turn into our parents?
Calling Libby up for a bath for the seventh time, and she yells “Cooooming!”
And I had this overwhelming urge to mutter, “yeah, so’s Christmas”. I have no doubt it would have come out in my Dad’s exact voice.
