My youngest daughter Zoë is 8 months old and as long as she is fed and changed at the appropriate times she is the very picture of contentment. She is not as sophisticated as her sisters who are now aware of the ‘treats’ economy and are already developing their own agenda for what they want […]
Read More ContentmentCome to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30) […]

Read More It Doesn’t Really MatterJesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” (John 1:38) Teachers.

Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12) What is there without light? Confusion by virtual blindness. We are left groping around in the darkness. Direction, purpose, development and movement has little to […]
Read More Jesus Is … The Light Of The WorldThat Bible, eh. It is a good book isn’t it? OK it is a volume that is a collection of books. Still good though.

Read More Jesus Is … The Bread Of LifeSchool plays. Did you love school plays? Even if they were just plays for your year or your class, did you like them? I liked them. I remember doing ‘There’s A Hole In My Bucket’ at Infant School – but that is a vague recollection of my first performance. I remember the school plays when […]

One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” (John 9:25) The Kingdom of God – the rule of God Himself is marked by those who are sick being healed.
