This may come as a shock and a surprise to you, but I can often be found thinking about things. (Yeah, there you go for the shock of the day – take your time in recovering from that.) As in contemplating them and pondering and wondering. For example today I was minding my own business […]
Read More OriginsDeborah, my beloved first-born, asked me recently why she would have to be quiet after break today (Thursday). I thought that was a bit of an odd question to ask until my wife helped me understand that it was Remembrance Day with the poppies and the things related to it. When that finally clicked, it […]
Read More Always Remember: Keep This In MindI love my daughters. One of the things I love doing is sharing with them a little story before they pray and go to sleep. I don’t always read from a book, sometimes I enjoy making up stories for them to get involved with and engage with. Deborah as the oldest is getting into them […]
Read More In The BeginningWhen I read back on some of the things I’ve said in this blog, I recognise that I can run the risk of sounding rather pompous, long-winded, pious and talking out of particular orifice not created for conversation. I really don’t take myself too seriously though, however ‘deep’ or ‘heavy’ some of these posts tend […]
Read More Being DadRight off the bat I have to admit that I’m being a bit naughty with the heading of this post.

Read More David – A Man After God’s HeartSo it’s my brother’s 32nd birthday today and it’s an honour and pleasure to celebrate such a significant step in his life’s journey. It’s also fitting to start his day with something he put together himself – as in wrote the song, performed the instruments, sang all the parts and compiled, edited and produced the […]
Read More Where He’s Coming From – All GloryThe Psalms are usually set to music and we don’t have the music notes to hand, which is why I love it when people actually do that themselves, especially when it works like a treat. In preparation for my brother’s birthday tomorrow, it’s definitely worth taking this in – to me it is a remarkably […]
Read More Psalm 142Today I was thinking about what it is to be blessed. Some people would look at the list of good stuff going for me and think I’m lucky. A loving, loyal and devoted wife, three beautiful, healthy and intelligent girls, a roof over my head, a fair-paying job using the best of my skills, modern […]
Read More With A Sister Like RuthYesterday I did a funny. I know you weren’t paying attention, but I was and I laughed on your behalf. The funny was in the line ‘I’m that kind of friend’, which was a humorous quip about another song title that Walter Hawkins is famous for writing. It’s this song you see. you get the […]
