Remember yesterday, right? I Believe I Can Fly and everything, right. Now what is wrong with that picture – what on earth would get me spouting on about that? Sometimes we are told that we can do and be anything we want (almost as though we believe we can fly or something – no I […]
Read More What Was Wrong With The Picture Then?I have heard it said that we live in a country that at least used to be a Christian country. There is shock and alarm at the way the faith is being marginalised in this ever changing pluralistic society in which we live in. The issue is all the more to people’s mind as the […]
Read More Taking God Out Of School! (Was He There Anyway?)Not an extended blog for today, but I picked up the local newspaper this afternoon, now when I say local newspaper, I mean local newspapers. Little Hulton rocks in terms of being equally as close to Bolton as it is to Manchester and so although being counted as part of Greater Manchester we get the […]
Read More Being Spiritually AmbitiousIt might worth your while reading this companion piece that I recently posted about the things that last to help with what this post is all about. It’s a Sunday evening, officially the end of the weekend and already the beginning of the week. At this time it’s a special end to the weekend and […]
Read More A Blank Piece of PaperFor quite a while I’ve been surrounding by the gung-ho go get-them mentality.

Sentiments are given about how much we hope it’s a happy one, resolutions are rustled up, but even by the end of the month they are soon forgotten. […]

Read More Things to Look Out ForSo much to say, so little time as Take 6 once put it. In many ways it is the culmination of a number of strands that have been buzzing around in the atmosphere for the last two years or so. I would love to be able to write at length, but time does not afford […]
Read More Culmination of ThingsIt’s been a while and there’s good reason for that too – the dreaded technological difficulties. I even have to use the wife’s one to put this together and anyone who knows about the wife’s cute little machine knows that it has to take something for this to be the case. I hope to have […]
Read More Errr … About That HiatusMy church background is pretty interesting and the things that I’ve learnt over my time in Stoke-on-Trent and especially at the YMCA has been eye-opening for so many reasons. I’m extremely grateful to God to be exposed to these things and experience a lot of them as well as observe them. The more I see […]
