There’s a word that I hear often and it’s really annoying. That word is ‘lucky’. I know where people are coming from when they say it. What bugs me about it is that it fails to recognise the source of credit for the things that happen to us for which we are not directly responsible.. […]
Read More More about GraceRecently my wife and I spent some time together up in West Yorkshire. For those of you who don’t know, this is a part of England that has beautiful hills and valleys. It’s gloriously picturesque although at times likely to be affected by rain. Not that Authrine and I were put off by the rain […]
Read More What? Again?There is no greater affirmation than that of the Father to the Son. To read it on the occasions it’s recorded is an incredibly moving experience.

Read More Not Just Jesus and IAlmost ten years ago I was working somewhere that offered me the opportunity to among other things write a small article every week day. The purpose of the article was to connect with the readers and share with them something that might prove to be stimulating to some degree. Usually in a light-hearted way, but […]
