It’s all in the timing. Timing is important. Timing is very, very important. I love the jokes and good jokers and timing is crucial. Oh really get the timing right and it’s like fireworks and celebrations. Getting the timing just slightly out and the way it goes flat is worse than ginger beer going flat. […]
Read More Building and Maintaining Life MomentumThe whole responsibility thing, isn’t all bad. I say that, because often the word responsibility doesn’t elicit shouts of joy and acclaim. Yet there are some real benefits to taking responsibilities seriously – some joyful benefits at that. I was reflecting on that today as I went about the domestic chores and family duties that […]
Read More On Personal ResolutionsYeah there’s the Jesus stuff which is very important to me. There is the church stuff, which is also very important. There are the ideas that knock around my head on other issues to talk about (for example I’m thinking about a series on All My Working Life). Yet from time to time it’s just […]
Read More Just Free-BloggingFinally we complete the mini-series that I’ve been writing about the family and my developing understanding of the this crucial foundation of society.

Read More How’s Authrine Watch – Part TwoTo keep you aware, some of the posts I do have been pre-scheduled sometimes days in advance. Some of them are worked on during the day in a nice neat Word file (OK OpenOffice Writer now) then put up on here. Sometimes however, it’s just good to freestyle blog, almost as if there doesn’t have […]
Read More Just Free-StylingSo it’s all well and good blogging on this, that and the other – but how am I? How’s the family? What’s going on? Good questions, good questions. Almost like Bruce’s ‘Good game, good game’. Well it’s not news now … well not to me anyway … but we have been in Little Hulton for […]
Read More Family Fortunes February UpdateApparently according to the calendars of some this is a day to celebrate romantic love and express that with the appropriate sentiments shared with that special significant other.

Read More Love Lifted MeOn the last Saturday of 2006 my daughter Abigail was blessed that is to say we made a huge deal of her dedication back to God (after all He gave her to us in the first place).
