There were only three of us. We don’t really know each other that well, but have something in common in following Jesus Christ. We were looking at the section of 1 Corinthians covering chapters 12 to 14. Reading that together and exploring aspects of it – what it meant, what the consequences were in our […]
Read More Reminder To Grow Up – A Study ExperienceThe nature of the work I do allows me to engage with others in the hope that they will become motivated to take on new information, or apply information they are already aware of. As with any group of people, there are some who do not wish to engage fully. They give the impression they […]

Change in myself, change in my loved ones, change in those who belong to the Body of Christ and change in those yet to become a part. I am very eager indeed to witness this change. I appreciate such a change is never straightforward and all that easy. […]
Read More Leave It To JesusIt has not always been easy to leave well. There have been some partings of the way that have been messy and acrimonious.

Moving to Bletchley and our time here has […]
Read More Bletchley Lessons: Never Alone(For more on Bletchley Lessons read the intro) I don’t remember walking that much when I was living in Manchester briefly, and the last few years of life in Stoke-on-Trent had infrequent walking episodes. For the first half of the time in Bletchley, walking was hardly in the picture. In latter times however, there has […]
Read More Bletchley Lessons: It’s Good To WalkDecember is an interesting month as far as I am concerned. Of course it’s not the best month of the year. That indisputably goes to its predecessor, November. Yet in December the following significant events took place in my life. 1999 – This was the time when I had a ground-breaking, life-changing encounter with the […]
Read More Introducing Bletchley LessonsI like learning. I like teaching. I consider myself to be a bit of an inquisitive person. I do not necessarily take what I am given as if it were all there was to it. I certainly do not always trust what I’ve been given initially. I like to understand it through questioning it. It […]
Read More Teaching And Learning – Not Always Because You Want ToIt came to me when I woke up this morning. First of all it was the tune.
