Reading and listening and watching and observing I come across statements and phrases that are kinda the done thing to say in certain areas. So for example there’s this wonderful word called ‘proactive’ which people need to be to make progress in life – not reactive, but proactive. Then there is the business-speak possibly influenced […]
Read More The Sweet SpotMy youngest daughter bounded toward the child protection gate and jigged up and down with power and zest and the world’s most adorable smile. So full of life, so full of joy. That God would grant me an opportunity to see her grow was so marvellous to me. To see her as well as her […]
Read More A Little Reminder Of GraceI respect the writings of Alan Knox quite a bit. Some of his stuff gets me pondering the difference between what I’ve experienced in church life and what scripture points to. I don’t go on a rant and rave against expressions of church, I reflect on what was and consider what can be in the […]
Read More When I Think Of The Word: FellowshipResting in the grace of Jesus is one of the most reassuring things you can do. Genuinely resting. That is also one of the main things to do, funnily enough whilst serving. Giving to people of your physical, emotional and general relational well being can be hugely exhausting.

Read More What If? Community Rather Than CongregationFor what it’s worth I am very grateful for the opportunity to write and share whatever is on my heart through this blog. The feedback I get is good because it is mixed. It is clear that some agree, some disagree and that is wonderful. Some challenge me to consider what views I share, others […]
Read More For What It’s WorthIt was a good morning. I was listening to a selection of songs as sung by Steve Green that I’d saved on me phone. Great songs like “God and God Alone”, “Kings Shall Bow”, “The Mission”, “People Need The Lord” and “I Will Serve The Lord”. The one song I didn’t have on me phone […]
Read More To You It Is A SinPeople 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 […]
Read More What You Talking AboutI am often thinking and I am often writing. I am glad for the writing. It is often a channel to express myself in word that are not always easy to express verbally. Here is an example of how writing helps me. I am tired, God. So very tired. Physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Exhausted […]
