It’s worth mentioning that this blog isn’t always that concerned to keep up with current affairs. If there are special occasions and events of one sort or another, I don’t feel obliged to mention them. So it is just one of those things that this entry so happens to happen on the same day as […]
Read More It’s All In Your HeadA few of us have been making our way through the Beatitudes. To go through any study at all, I am grateful I have some prayer support. What I enjoy about the prayer support is the one I get from one of my favourite people on the planet at the moment. I love this brother […]
Read More How Do You Mourn Well?Bad days. Those days when, with the best intentions in the world, things just go bonkers wrong. Best laid plans and everything go up in smoke. Folks to connect with are not available and the desire to be helpful fails in an epic manner. Just want to be in a huff and shut out the […]
Read More When I Am Sad, He Makes Me GladGeography wasn’t a subject I was particularly interested in at school. It wasn’t a very boring subject, it just wasn’t one of those that grabbed my interest. Outside of school, though, I remember having a passing interest in maps, atlases and especially globes. I recall wandering around an atlas at the odd named places and […]
Read More To The Nations, For The NationsThere was this prayer meeting I took part in and one of the thoughts that emerged from it was how important it was to use our words to build others.

Read More Words to BuildI am grateful for my upbringing that brought me into contact with hymns. It’s interesting, I think hymns can be both overrated and under-utilised. Growing up there was such a reliance on hymns that it was as though the only songs worth singing had to be written before most of the singers were born. That’s […]
Read More A Short Thing on HymnsThey stand up to give a hearty applause. Here in Britain, we are approaching the end of the Autumn Conference season. By that I am referring to that time of year where the major political parties have their gatherings. There was first the Liberal Democrats, then last week there was Labour and this week it’s […]
Read More Heartily Applauding The LeaderAs we have it at the moment, if you think about it, however glorious and illustrious it might appear, death wins. You know that. They are born and as soon as that happens death is inevitable. Whatever purpose you look for while you’re alive does nothing to prevent the inevitable. You know that. So on […]
Read More When Life Defeats DeathAt the all you can eat buffet, my colleagues made a smart decision. They would just get a refill glass of drink. As it suggests, the one-off payment handed over power to the individual to get a soft drink and return for more whenever they liked. What made it a smart move was that they […]
Read More RefillAnd so you wait to see what she’ll do Is it sun or rain for you But it breaks your heart in two Cos you’ll find it’s October And she’s gone And she’s gone Summer’s gone Taking with her summer’s rays (Summer Soft by Stevie Wonder) Ahhhh the lyrics of one of my favourite songs. […]
