I was reading more of the Jesus Manifesto today – book by Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola. Came across a section where they looked at how to measure a good day and a bad day. It refers to a brilliant Chinese proverb … which I would tell you, but seriously you might as well buy […]
Read More All The DaysAs the minutes pass and the day fades away so ends the most significant day in my own calendar. My wedding anniversary is important, the day of my baptism is also special. The birthdays of my loved ones are crucial parts of my diary. Yet there’s a thrill at the thought of a day like […]
Read More Birthday GreetingsIn the last entry I confessed to a critical spirit and the need to focus on Jesus to live out the solution. This is not an individual response – this is an individual in the context of the community. That community is likewise solely focussed on looking to Jesus Christ as the Solution. This is […]
Read More We Are The Solution When We Focus On The SolutionThis won’t be long and will be the first of a two part series. I need to confess that I have far too often been critical. Things are not the way they should be, in the imperfections there’s a sense that things could be so much better. Rather than acting in hope of seeing and […]
Read More Being The Change You Want To SeeI love Twitter especially following people who tweet regularly with quality stuff more often than not. One of those who fit this like a glove fits a hand is called Kevin Bond who has an extensive portfolio of gospel albums and evidently knows how to tweet. He does a series of shout-outs to people and […]
Read More Word Of Thanks To The Men And WomenBeing brought up in a God-fearing, church-attending, Jesus following family meant being exposed to key catchphrases that tuned in with the brethren. That is why it would be easy for the devil to present himself as an angel of light – say the right words in the right way and some will accept what you […]
Read More In My Right MindMy Dad went to work five days a week, helped in organising and officiating services for another of those days and would also help out with the Sunday evening services. As well as that he was married and had responsibilities for one daughter and two sons. At the time growing up I certainly didn’t appreciate […]
Read More A Quiet Place: The Story Of My Dad’s AllotmentI wake up at 6am and can afford to stretch and yawn away the last remains of a thoroughly rested night’s sleep. Quietly tip-toeing to grab me gown, I make me way to the shower and brush me teeth and have an eye-opening shower to get into the swing of a new day. Getting changed […]
Read More Dreaming Of A Good DayToday my family and I had the incredible honour of attending the engagement service of a precious family friend. The nature of the service included songs, prayers and encouraging words for the couple. While this was taking place it afforded me the time to consider carefully again the whole deal about marriage. Whilst pondering that […]
Read More Marriage: Lifelong Pursuit Of IntimacyI don’t have many friends, so the friends I have I tend to treasure. There is one amazing friend I developed in my time in Stoke-on-Trent who walked with me a lot in my last three years in the city, and I’ve deliberately not maintained contact with him in the last year and what that […]
