Getting Back To Squash It had been at least four years since I had last played squash. Back in 2006 I was a regular player and reached my physical peak during that time, as I did that as well as occasionally playing football with the lads at the YMCA on a weekly basis. At one […]
Read More Parables From A Physical WeekRecently I watched a documentary called The Most Dangerous Man in America. This gave an insight into what Daniel Ellsberg did to release what is known as the Pentagon Papers, a top secret government document that gave startling revelations of the relations America had with Vietnam. The scandal arose around the significant discrepancies between public […]
Read More Dare To Be A Daniel Ellsberg?Whenever I ask someone “How is life?” I enjoy the answer, “I cannot complain.” I enjoy it, because it is patently untrue. There is more than ample opportunity and reason to complain. That you do not complain is an active choice. What helps with that active choice not to complain is a preference to look […]
Read More What I Love About LifeLate last month I asked you to pray about the job situation for friends of mine, my wife and myself. I just want to give an update on developments in that area. During the week I was informed that my current position would be coming to an end by the end of this month. Another […]
Read More Prayer Point – Jobs UpdateIt is not bad talking of legacy. I used to hang around with a guy who was keen to ensure he left a positive legacy for the generations that followed him.

When delivering sessions and working on a one to one basis with individuals, sometimes this condition is more than apparent. For example someone who has a […]
Read More The Little Thing and the Obvious ThingI do not often use this blog for prayer request. I have used it for prayer points on the odd occasion, and I’m more than delighted to pray for stuff meself, but I rarely if ever use it to ask you to pray for me for stuff. Dunno why. Just been the way. Until now. […]
Read More Prayer Request – JobsAbigail, is our precious 6 year-old middle daughter. As you can appreciate leaving a place where she was accustomed and had made friends and moving to a strange new place, can be discomforting, traumatic and unnerving. In a previous school she had suffered from some of the effects of the trauma of the new and […]
Read More Celebrating God’s Achievements In Your LifeI was sitting down in a section of the day’s church gathering that they called the Divine Worship. As is my wont, I made notes of what the preacher was saying. As I listened and noted and also considered the rest of the session and indeed the service, there was something gnawing at me. The […]
Read More Disconnect and ReconnectI am a loner. My preference has been my own company. Even with a beautiful family of a loving wife and three really awesome daughters, I don’t always love spending every minute of my time with them. Despite being a loner, however, the love of God compels me again to understand that I am nothing […]
