Against The Run Of Play

My daughter’s team were really under a lot of pressure. They were getting battered by the opposition. Chance after chance was raining in on their goal. It seemed to be inevitable that my girl’s team would concede at some point. Watching it, most observers would say if any team was going to score it would […]

You’ll Never Walk Alone

Apparently I am supposed to be a self-made man. I should be able to look back on all my accomplishments and achievements and be able to proudly say, I did it my way. I should have the ability to pull myself by my own bootstraps and be able to tell society that I am a […]

There’s A Golden Sky

It was difficult to see him endure suffering for so long. This once strong and vibrant man, now brought low by age and debilitating disease. Very tough to watch him go through it. At times I felt it was humiliating and there were those who had been used to seeing him bouncing along being helpful […]

At The End Of A Storm

When you go through the storm it can appear at times to be a besetting norm. In the thick of it sometimes it feels relentless. It’s not unreasonable to question if it will ever end. This is why there is the consolation of knowing that the trouble won’t last always. Not in the glib sense […]
