This Is Freedom?

I saw this picture (Thanks to The Meta Picture) and at first recognised it for it’s humour and then looked closer and considered how real it is.  Sure it reflects the American concept of the normal life, but it’s not that different to the British version.  In fact quite a number of cultures and sub-cultures […]

The Matter of Loyalty

Almost two years ago I wrote on the issue of Divided Loyalties and something I was considering today brought up the same matter.  Obviously worth reading the original by clicking the link and then pop back here.  I’ll still be here when you get back. Done? OK, good.  So I was considering the issue of […]

There is security in certainty. The baby is secure in the arms of her mother.  She often behaves with the certainty that her mother will always be there when she wants to sleep or when she wants a feed.  That level of certainty is never questioned by her at that age.  It’s not even an […]

This is an outstanding entry challenging the view of Christianity that sees itself at the apex.  Convicting, thought-provoking and so something worth considering on its own merits. Guy highlights […]

Intensity: Once More With Feeling

Two incidents took place recently that got me thinking about how Jesus impacts our lives in ways we don’t appreciate. I work with those in the 16-18 age bracket who are looking for help getting a job.  I run a number of workshops geared at raising awareness of jobsearch methods and encouraging the learners to […]

You Beauty

Whether it’s Jekyll and Hyde, Frankenstien or The Incredible Hulk, I’m a big fan of stories that tell the truth about the difference between what is perceived as beauty and what actually is beauty. I used to be very much aware of how image conscious society is. I never felt as though I met the […]
