What follows are some thoughts motivated by further contemplation of this morning’s reference to Jesus being the Temple. ~(Thanks also to Alan for his insightful blog on the issue from another perspective.) I don’t think the irony could be anymore apt than seeing the real temple of the Living God singing a song about devoting […]
Read More Jesus And The Building ProjectEarlier I wrote on Jesus Christ as the Son of God and that has been a thought that has been bothering me for the last few days and here’s why. By bothers me, I don’t mean it troubles me as to whether it’s true or not. It bothers me because its implications are a lot […]
Read More He Is The Son Of God – Why It MattersThis life thing is so fascinating. When I was at home with my parents and siblings I had to do what my parents (and big sister) told me to do. There was little room for questions and definitely short shrift for any rebellion or refusal (especially from the big sister). As I grew up though, […]
Read More Some Reasoning Going OnDeacon Henry – a stalwart of a church in Derby died today. Death at the best of times is something to take seriously, but this one had a big impact on me.

Read More A Word For A FriendThis 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 OriginsI am not sure if there is a more important social structure than the family. Some may argue the church, but that can be seen in the light of church is always meant to be like a family. How do I relate to God? As my heavenly Father. How is Jesus referred? The Son of […]
Read More What Is Family?I 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 […]
