Together
This doesn’t just apply to ‘loving couples’, I find it applies to family and the extended family of faith. Almost as though God intended life to be lived together. (HT: The Meta Picture) For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd

The Talk
I remember a time when the child would be counselled by the parent on the ‘birds and the bees’. This picture would give you the impression that it’s only recently that things have changed. I’d argue though, that the whole peer pressure and influence of other forces have rendered the concept of that talk all […]

Maybe this post would have been better off being called the ‘P’ words and Marriage, (purity and patience are other ‘p’ words that would fit this article nicely) but I’m not too fussed. Pornography. There I’ve said it. One of the things I cannot account for is the age of the reader, so I endeavour […]
Read More The ‘P’ Word and MarriageNo Condemnation – Not Guilty
One of the biggest problems in my life has been to do with condemnation. Well into my late teens and twenties my sense of worth was constantly ebbing and flowing. Sometimes I would feel as though I was loved by Christ and that was all that mattered. Other times I would be very insecure, cut […]

Following my last foray into controversial and touchy issues I thought I might as well venture further and touch on the topic of how same sex relationships are recognised. First there were Civil Partnerships and unsurprisingly and understandably there are calls for same sex partnerships to receive all the rights and benefits that heterosexual couples […]

People don’t half talk rubbish sometimes. I wonder how much completely irrelevant stuff comes through our mouths? I was thinking that whilst conversing with my wife. It occurred to me that to be able to hold a decent conversation you need to have something in common. Of those things in common it could be people […]
