Read More In All Seriousness We Don’t Have To Be All SeriousLearning about teaching and different things, makes me aware that not everyone loves words. There are a variety of ways to communicate and take on board information – some people love the visual, some people love to listen to things, some prefer to learn on their own, some prefer to be in company.

Read More Grateful To God For WordsI am not always motivated to blog. I love it. Blogging is such a great outlet for a number of reasons, but sometimes I just cannot muster the energy.

Read More When You Have One Of Those DaysTwo incidents in the space of a week has me thinking again about how we should remember people. Former radio and television personality and charity worker Jimmy Saville, who died a year ago, has not been accused of a number of incidents of sexually inappropriate behaviour. The charges and allegations have caused quite a stir […]
Read More How Should We Remember People?It saddens me that church life and being a Christian can be perceived as being preoccupied with a weekly meeting. It saddens me because I think this preoccupation misses the point by a significant margin.

Read More More That What We Make OutI was thinking about my wife today. Yeah, I know it makes a change, but I was. As I thought about her, I thought about how much of a big deal she is to me and compared her to other things that I’m likely to be passionate about. I love me football, I love reading […]
