The problem of evil is something I’ve been grappling on and off since we started talking about it at a Religious Education class I had when I was about 14. It was that golden question that has perplexed for years that typifies the problem – If God is good how can He allow such evil […]
Read More Is This What I Believe? Everything PredeterminedThis is not designed to be a long blog at all. I’m here in the midst of assignment fun where I’ve got something like three assignments to get completed before Monday and that’s not straightforward at all, but by the grace of God everything is possible. In my case, it has to be really. Today […]
Read More Where Do I Fit In The Larger Scheme Of ThingsJust to say how happy I am and honoured to have made it to 200 posts this year before the last quarter begins. I am really grateful to God for getting the level of consistency to this level. I’ve been rather poorly lately, but have battled on despite everything to carry on with things like […]
Read More Role of the Teacher and Praise PerspectivesI have never had bacon in my life, but I was thinking this evening just how sad it is that the pig has been attributed with so many negative traits.

Read More Cheering You OnEver felt like you are banging your head against a brick wall. A problem you face and no matter what you try the problem doesn’t appear to budge. Sometimes it takes acknowledging the problem and doing something different to see better results. Sometimes we need to see things from a different angle to see things […]
Read More From A Different Angle – On A Different PathDon’t know if I’ve talked about hell before, and this is not going to be an explanation of what it is and it isn’t. This entry comes about though, as I am reliably informed that people seem to think that their existence here on earth is hell. I can sympathise to a degree with their […]
Read More To Hell With HellSo it’s almost 23:00 and I’ve come home from a brilliant Men’s Meeting to find the bedroom in a state of repair as laminate flooring is being put down.
