This won’t be long and will be the first of a two part series. I need to confess that I have far too often been critical. Things are not the way they should be, in the imperfections there’s a sense that things could be so much better. Rather than acting in hope of seeing and […]
Read More Being The Change You Want To SeeI love Twitter especially following people who tweet regularly with quality stuff more often than not. One of those who fit this like a glove fits a hand is called Kevin Bond who has an extensive portfolio of gospel albums and evidently knows how to tweet. He does a series of shout-outs to people and […]
Read More Word Of Thanks To The Men And WomenBeing brought up in a God-fearing, church-attending, Jesus following family meant being exposed to key catchphrases that tuned in with the brethren. That is why it would be easy for the devil to present himself as an angel of light – say the right words in the right way and some will accept what you […]
Read More In My Right MindMy Dad went to work five days a week, helped in organising and officiating services for another of those days and would also help out with the Sunday evening services. As well as that he was married and had responsibilities for one daughter and two sons. At the time growing up I certainly didn’t appreciate […]
Read More A Quiet Place: The Story Of My Dad’s AllotmentI wake up at 6am and can afford to stretch and yawn away the last remains of a thoroughly rested night’s sleep. Quietly tip-toeing to grab me gown, I make me way to the shower and brush me teeth and have an eye-opening shower to get into the swing of a new day. Getting changed […]
Read More Dreaming Of A Good DayToday my family and I had the incredible honour of attending the engagement service of a precious family friend. The nature of the service included songs, prayers and encouraging words for the couple. While this was taking place it afforded me the time to consider carefully again the whole deal about marriage. Whilst pondering that […]
Read More Marriage: Lifelong Pursuit Of IntimacyI don’t have many friends, so the friends I have I tend to treasure. There is one amazing friend I developed in my time in Stoke-on-Trent who walked with me a lot in my last three years in the city, and I’ve deliberately not maintained contact with him in the last year and what that […]
Read More Good Times With Andy KindStories. I love them. I love what they do on so many levels from the ‘mind switched off and just enjoying the ride’ to ‘truly delving into the depths of the human condition’. All from the story. Those stories can be real and often reality is stranger than fiction. Of late I’ve come across a […]
Read More Judging: Innocent Until Proven …It’s a bit odd isn’t it. We claim to be a church of the New Covenant, but behave a great deal like we’re still living in the Old Covenant. We see the new life in Christ that calls us to be the priesthood, yet operate in a way that suggests certain priests are to ‘minister’ […]
Read More Bit Odd, ThatI was watching a documentary on the history of America. A well done documentary it is as well. Encapsulating the development of the nation from its Independence to Barack Obama’s Presidency. Whilst covering the post war years, a comment was made that made my blood run cold. In passing, the commentator, who as is the […]
