Although I used to play rugby whilst at school, I’m not paying that much attention to the World Cup taking place at the moment. I did catch the score of the first match of World Champions South Africa. They played Wales and despite being ahead by a good number of points, the Welsh lost 17-16. […]
Read More How It Ends Not How It StartsFor those expecting a review of the 1992 film of the same name, errr … you’re in the wrong place. It’s a Saturday night. My first born daughter is safely tucked into her bed making her way to the land of nod. I have me drink at the ready and little snack as well in […]

He invites us to imagine scenarios that appear to depict his concept of the ideal. Among other things he asks us to imagine there’s no possessions, despite the fact that he would be singing […]
Read More Words Of Wisdom From Interesting SourcesI did a degree Philosophy & Politics for three years at Essex University. Before that I did a two year course at A-Level in Theology (as well as English and also Government and Politics). Before that I did a GCSE option in Religious Studies. Throughout this time moral issues and their practical and political implications […]
Read More Briefly Entering And Exiting An Aspect Of The Abortion DebateWhen God speaks, what does He mean? Not what I think He means, but what His actual meaning is and His intent, can we ever know? My brother’s spiritual journey is very different to my own, but this series is fascinating to consider. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More What Did The Authority Mean?A small tale of patience. I work in a place designed to help young people between 16 and 18 into an apprenticeship.
