"Let us go over to the other side." - Transitions

I have become very aware recently that life is full of change... and transitions.

If we don't change we die, some have said.

This is what I have been collecting.........

That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, "Let us go over to the other side."
Mark 4:35 (NIV)

“Not in his goals but in his transitions is man great”
Ralph Waldo Emerson (
American Poet, Lecturer and Essayist, 1803-1882)

“Disenchantment, whether it is a minor disappointment or a major shock, is the signal that things are moving into transition in our lives.”
William Bridges

“When our first parents were driven out of Paradise, Adam is believed to have remarked to Eve: "My dear, we live in an age of transition."”
Dean Inge (Dean of St Paul's, London, 1860-1954)


Afterwards Paul felt impelled by the Holy Spirit to go ... he said, "I must go....!"
Acts 19:21 (TLB)

I am starting a new teaching series soon to talk about transitons and how we can understand them. The Bible gives us great wisdom about navigating life's changes.

Part 1 is Sunday 13 September at 10am.
