It’s an interesting time of year. Today I stood with others in a church service as the efforts of the servicemen who died in the major wars of the last century were remembered. I was informed by the leader of the service, that these people made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Yesterday I was […]
Read More For Our FreedomYesterday you’d have noted I posted a verse from.the second letter of Peter. Here’s where I was coming from. It started with a conversation I held recently. I like the guy. I don’t know him that well. We met a few weeks ago. He could hold a decent conversation, which is always useful. He’s a […]
Read More How Now Shall We Live? An ExplanationA few years ago I wrote about Greater Is He with the Crabb Family music video of the same name. I love how music is a great source that helps remind me of spiritual truths. I need the reminding as well – something I wrote about in the older piece. On this occasion it was […]
Read More GreaterI am a home body. I love home. I love the familiarity, the warmth, the family, the routine, the safety, the sense of being enclosed from outside forces. I love it. It is something I look forward to returning to after a day’s work. My recent history has seen us move houses and locations fairly […]

The thing about a relationship with the Eternal One is that in spote of the beginning and end, it always serms that the ends are never final and even the beginnings started earlier.

Gone too soon. Oh and now this Rabbi shows up. Now Jesus is here. Far too late. I’m sure His excuses will be hollow. All talk and when […]
Read More September Sojourn: Jesus Is The Resurrection and the LifeThis is the set up. The room will be quiet. There will be a table with the laptop open. There will be a Bible open on a scripture. I will sing a song, then read the scripture. During that I might make notes on the scripture. I will pray about what I’ve read and also […]
Read More Time For DevotionalLife is so hard. I read that somewhere. I heard it somewhere else. I even said it. On one or two (hundred) occasions. In the light of walking with Jesus and knowing of the gospel message, I thought maybe God’s original plan in making man, was to avoid life being hard. Then I read this […]
Read More Life Is Hard – But …I was asked to share something about discipleship with a multi-generational group of people recently. As you may have gathered having a brief scan of this site, I take inspiration from various sources. On this occasion, I was inspired by the song above. Growing up my Mum loved her some Andrae Crouch. Like the dutiful […]
Read More Living This Kind Of LifeHere on these British Isles there once lived a sports commentator called David Coleman. I remember some of the commentaries Coleman made on sporting occasions primarily through the video footage. I distinctly recall him talking of some feat being ‘quite remarkable’. The way he said it was so unique years after his retirement it echoes […]
