I love Columbo. There, I’ve said it. It’s out there in the open and I won’t retract the statement because it is the truth. I love Columbo, I don’t think there’s been a better detective programme on television and that includes Law and Order: Criminal Intent. What I love about Columbo among many things is […]
Read More In PursuitThe quality of courage remains one of the most valued in any community. It’s not always recognised and does not always make itself obvious and known to all. To those who witness a courageous character it soon becomes evident what marks them out for what they are. It takes courage to believe in the gospel […]
Read More CourageReading the book of Acts there’s quite a lot of astounding things that happen after the ascension of Jesus Christ. I remember asking and now I’ve lived to see my children ask: if things like this happened at that time, why don’t they happen now? Some blamed it on a lack of faith. Some blamed […]

Read More Wisdom in Nature: A Brief ReflectionHe had been such a good friend. I remember talking to him about almost anything. I enjoyed it because he used to make me laugh even if we were talking about something serious. I looked up to him as a big brother and really appreciated the time he took for me.

Read More It’s Not ForeverDo you know who you’re talking to? This is often the arrogant inquisition given by someone of standing when someone of considerably less credentials seek to question them or prevent access. You might be familiar with the scenario.
