Read More EverythingI’ve been outlining where I go from here and did so on the basis that God is one who gives direction and to receive it requires humility and excitement in the knowledge that life isn’t aimless and pure drudgery.

There are times when I’ll write the blog on me word document program before uploading the document to transfer the text to the […]

Read More DMCD Songs: John P Kee Chill OutToday I could not locate the latest in the Maurice Barratt series on the Sermon on the Mount that I am reading, so I elected to continue reading the Michael Foot biography by Kenneth O.

Read More Until Your Love Broke ThroughYou’re aware that I’ve talked before about confessional community (there was this one, then that one before the other one).
