True story. Before July if you had talked about Ronnie Milsap I would have given you the blank look of a man who had absolutely no idea who you were talking about. You could have been talking about Bertrand Greengage* for all I cared. This changed after I came across a Gaither video and who […]
Read More DMCD Songs: What A Difference You’ve Made In My Life – Ronnie Milsap and Gordon MoteSome songs I remember because they remind me of growing up. This is one of those songs. Yes it was sung in the local church, but more importantly I remember both my parents singing it with a passion and a reality that still chokes me up today. What my Mum and my Dad took as […]
Read More CD Songs: Each Step I TakeAs I mentioned not long ago, I am reading Howard Snyder’s book The Community for the King. I haven’t read a book like this in quite a while, chiefly because I haven’t been reading in quite a while. but it’s good to be reading and it is certainly a wonderful book to come across to […]
Read More Coming Back For Which Church?I don’t think anyone in this church tonight who believes in God should feel bad if there are days when they find it very very hard to believe. (Frank Skinner, In Conversation with the Archbishop of Canterbury, September 2011) Just believe. Two words I have heard a lot in my life. They are words usually […]
Read More Doubt and FaithI like to think of myself as a rather laid back kinda guy. Until very recently it would take a lot to get me riled up and all up in people’s faces in an antagonistic and aggressive manner. Overt violence is not my first port of call as a reaction to nuisances. Of very late […]
Read More I’m Just Doing My Job – And That Job Is To Love SacrificiallyFor what it’s worth. When I say that every blog that’s posted is done by the grace of God, I don’t mean that as a cheap and glib ‘Christian’ thing to say. If any of the words that I write in any way helps someone else out then in as much as I accept thanks […]
Read More Jesus Pops The Inflated Opinion Of MyselfThe other day I sat in on a New Directions course. This is a course run by the Baptist church to introduce people to Christianity if they are interested in pursuing it further. I was invited to sit on it by a friend to see what it was like. Their approach was to stress […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Saved – VIP Mass Choir feat. John P. KeeSo I’m with my sleeping 2 year old daughter. As you know the best time is when they are asleep. I could think it’s safe to nip off and get something done, but then I know my daughter and she knows when I’m not there. While she sleeps I manage to sneak in an episode […]
Read More Don’t Hold It In – Talk About ItIf you have an hour to spare and don’t want to waste it watching rubbish, I heartily recommend you watch this documentary. When I was growing up with my parents back in Wellingborough, I was fairly interested in athletics and the Olympics. I have a vague recollection of the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984, I […]
Read More Running The Race To WinI like walking. By walking, I’m not rejoicing over the act of merely walking like from my armchair to my fridge to get a drink and back to my armchair. Though I do obviously rejoice in this act, especially if the drink is ginger beer. What I’m referring to is a slightly more extended walk […]
