I’ve always been asking questions since I can remember. And usually the reason for the questions are for answers. (Sometimes I ask to be awkward and make other people work hard or put people off questions. Hey, it does its job.) I want to know answers so that I can know what to do with […]
Read More MTP01 From The BeginningYou shall not murder. (Ex. 20:13) The build up to understanding the spiritual intent behind God’s law and order has progressed in fascinating fashion. As you look at the Ten Words there is a distinct pattern and process. It’s understandable why the Lord who saved the people from slavery and potential ethnic cleansing would prioritise […]
Read More Law & Order: Spiritual Intent – Staying AliveI enjoy spending some time reflecting on the issues of life. It’s good for me. It keeps me sane when I want to go berserk. So anyway, today I was given that opportunity to do some reflecting and it occurred to me that the story has a lot to do with whatever success I have in life. I do […]
Read More Power of the Story(You may be asking the good question – oi Chris, where’s the teacher training class blog entry for today, didn’t you go to teacher training today? The answer to that is no, I did not go to teacher training today. This afternoon I was in Leicester for the YMCA Regional Thanksgiving Celebration which finished after […]
Read More Take Your TimeThere’s quite a lot to consider in teaching those from the post-compulsory age (i.e. post 16). No wonder some go crackers when you consider the level of paperwork involved.

Read More The Only Pressure In Teaching Is From YouI’m aware … I don’t know if you know … but I am aware that even on this very blog I don’t always come quick to fulfil my word. It’s not to say I don’t fulfil my word, it’s just that my original timescale for fulfilling it and the actual timing are somewhat skewed. Now […]
Read More Fast and the CuriousFew things are in season all year round. As we enjoy the Springtime blossoming of trees and bask in their Summertime bloom we’re only too aware that Autumn sees leaves turn brown and Winter witnesses the full become sparse. This sparseness is no bad thing because it is necessary to replenish and refresh that which […]
Read More In SeasonLife can really be brilliant. Oxygen is just one of a number of other chemicals and resources required for the body to function. Similarly we can get fed by different streams of influence – what we watch or listen, the friends we knock about with, interests and hobbies. It’s good to reflect sometimes on what […]
Read More Nourishing StreamsPeople can be characterised by their delights. Spend enough time with someone and you can find what buttons to push to get them excited. Mundane existing is suddenly transformed to bright energising engaging living. Some of these passions, though, have a short life span and their ability to truly change life for the better is […]
Read More What A DelightKeeping things simple is appealing. Dazzling with technical lingo may impress initially, but it is worthless if we end up none the wiser. Better to make the complex simple. Knowing God may be complex but some aspects are simple. He knows the way of those who do right – He knows because He sets it […]
