I was having a conversation with a very good and dear friend. We were talking about necessary changes and moves in life.

Read More TimelyRecently I reflected on the role of walking with my Dad. In it I referred to how my brother and I would often walk with him when he went for his walks. Looking on that in the light of life today got me thinking about the beauty of praying together. It never fails to amaze […]
Read More Journeyman Journal: Pursuing in Prayer TogetherWords. They open and they close. They illuminate and they conceal. They console and they provoke. Their effect on the attitudes, behaviour and condition of people cannot be underestimated. Something happens. The words we use describe a picture and a narrative that we buy into.

Read More No Compromise: You Ain’t BowingOK a brief football reference, then I will move right on, honest. So, Wayne Rooney is the leading goalscorer for his club, Manchester United and his country.

Read More Living Beyond OurselvesIt was a privilege to be invited to dinner, but the conversation, for all the wit and humour flying across the table, was very sobering.

Read More A Word On ExploitationThis beautiful photograph was taken by a man I admire a great deal. He took this whilst at a place called Godfrey.
