my steps

The Archdeacon of Bangor when reflecting on ministry offered the following thought: most of us are caught between grace and guilt.

That set me thinking. I, being me, wanted to reject the notion completely. Upon consideration, he is right. It is also food for thought during Lent. Many of us have given things up or taken things on. All of them will be to some extent worthwhile; and yet sometimes I do things because I think I ought to or have to (guilt) rather than in response to the overwhelming love of God
