So 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 ItI love the phrase ‘I was minding my own business’. It is a particular favourite prelude to something happening to change the whole business that I was minding at the time. So. I was minding my own business when I bumped into this blog entry about The Hardest Truth by Keith Giles. Read it. It […]
Read More What Did I Do To God? Reading The Ezekiel 16 AgainIt is remarkably humbling and liberating to engage in a conversation with the saints in Christ who have absolutely no idea what the answer is, and are humble enough to express that.

Read More I’m Sorry I Don’t Have The AnswerI’m not the first one to say it, and I don’t think I’ll be the last, but consider all this news about the economic crisis and the findings of corruption in banking and the amount of bail-outs that countries need. Consider it carefully. When I was I started thinking about things like bills, mortgages, credit […]

Read More MTP19 Remix – Remembering The PoorI haven’t blogged in a while. The posts that have been on here recently have been ones I’d scheduled a while ago. The reason for that is mainly because I’m not well. If it were a flu-type thing, that would be easy to ascertain and deal with. Yet the ailment is not a physical one, […]
Read More Doing My Head InSomething has been bothering me. Someone I knwo who to all intents and purposes portrays commendable qualities and attributes that any Christian would seek to imitate confessed that they had found abundant life elusive. True happiness had been missing for decades and they had rather been more acquainted with grief, barrenness, loneliness and isolation. Shouldn’t […]
Read More Shouldn’t We Care?Sometimes I get the feeling I really should be up on what is happening at the moment. Things like the news gives the impression that if you’re not up to date, you’re missing something critical.
