1000

Mar 20, 2014

Food For Faith quietly celebrated a significant milestone earlier this week with the 1000th posting.

Five years ago the Food For Faith blog began as a two week Holy Land pilgrimage diary. At the end of the pilgrimage I spent a couple of months on sabbatical and continued to update the blog. A number of people commented that they found it helpful, and things grew from there.

Last year it became clear that the blog had outgrown its blog framework and that a more substantial website was needed. Thanks to Jason McTague’s IT expertise and support, the move to www.foodforfaith.org.nz  has been relatively easy and effective.

Apart from the Twitter (twitter.com/johnchch) and Facebook Food For Faith presence, we have made no effort to advertise the site. Word of mouth is our best promoter.

If you have found the website helpful, you can support us by liking us at

or signing up at www.twitter.com/johnchch

and sharing the web address with others who might be interested www.foodforfaith.org.nz

I try not to repeat these daily Lenten posts year to year but there are times when the same scriptures pop up annually and I realise that I can’t write it better than I did last year. Today is one such day, not only because of the thought I share but even more in the comments that are added by FFF readers. Today I have left some of last year’s comments helping us to appreciate the power of today’s readings.

The heart of the home in years past was the hearth.
It was at the hearth that the family gathered for the warmth and light of the flame and the food that was prepared there.
The fire was treated with respect since the same flame which provided energy for the home could just as easily destroy it.

The Israelites in their forty years in the desert were journeying from captivity to freedom, but the struggle of their desert years made them vulnerable to attack from every temptation as today’s first reading continues

I’m not sure if children today are told the great story of the Emperor’s New Clothes, but if not let’s make sure that the parable is taught at all schools of higher learning.

A few years ago I discovered the wonderful way that God uses my imagination in my prayer.
Such openness to imagination when seeking God does not take us away from reality into fantasy but instead brings me into what is most real and inescapably personal and intimate.
