The mind. What an amazingly complex and fascinating construct it is. From the mind activities, views and language flows.. The right mind can lead to so much good being done where the mind messed up can likewise lead to unimaginable horror. I work in an area of society with a lot of people with messed […]
Read More Get Motivation! Making Your Mind UpThe concluding part of our brief series on my growing understanding of family is coming up soon. Today though, I was reflecting on the nature of friends as I was looking to update me Facebook page. My relationship with Facebook has been interesting since I signed up to it about a year or so ago. […]
Read More Friends Now and ThenWe are continuing the series on me growing journey of understanding what family is. As a recap there was the early days back in Wellingborough. I saw a wider world of family church wise when I went to Peckham during the university days. There was the dramatic shift in fortunes from the comforts of church […]
Read More Consider Yourself One Of The Family – Broader HorizonsThe eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honourable we bestow […]
Read More Esteeming The Least EsteemedThis is the third in a series of blogs on the topic of my growing understanding of what family is.

I then am reminded of Jesus Christ and His love and mission and I am reminded […]
Read More People Need The Lord – Steve GreenWe love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19) This is not the blog I meant to write, but before I get to it a related diversion. I didn’t do preacher training in any formal setting, but I picked up on the styles of those that I heard. As I grew up there was […]
Read More In A Change To The Scheduled Blog … For The Love Of GodI like the terms fiction and non-fiction. I like the two terms because when I think of the word story, I know people might be prone to think that what they’re about to hear isn’t true and is only told for the moral virtue in the story. What fiction and non-fiction allow us to remember […]
Read More Stories for the Journey – Journey for the StoriesThere’s a word that was often bandied about in the home in which I spent the first 17 years of my life and that word is work-less.
