The Writer Thing

My handwriting at school was very close to awful. It was obviously legible enough to give teachers the impression I knew what was going on, but I am fairly certain I helped a number of those teachers need glasses such was the squinting and the working out what was what. All that handwriting and joined […]

Writing and 1 Kings

Talking verbally is something that I do fairly well, but I prefer writing. By writing I mean typing either on a laptop or on a mobile device like a tablet or phone. I believe people are more used to me for the verbal, but often my best manner of expression is through the written word.  […]

Grateful For … (2)

It’s been around nine years since I first started blogging. That’s a whole heap of words in those years. More importantly, though, I have come across some really good writers and followers of Christ who are able to record their journey in a really compelling way. There’s no doubt about it, my faith has been […]

I Miss You Too

Last night I watched the Dr. Who at the Proms programme on BBC3 and wanted to share it with someone and I didn’t have anyone to share it with – you know what I mean?  As in someone on the same wavelength as you for the same reason.  That’s not always your wife – that’s […]

Don’t Believe Everything You Read

I read a lot of things you know.  Blogs, web-sites, books, magazines, periodicals and of course newspapers. I’ve been aware of newspapers, but funnily enough I only took them seriously when I began my paper round.  I was of course reading well before then, you know from growing with the comics especially Asterix and Tintin.  […]
