So, recently it was my Dad who was getting props for how his example influenced my faith and allowed me to take prayer that bit more seriously. At this time I now think of my mother as I listen to this song. There is the tendency to worry. Doesn’t take much to see why – […]
Read More Be Still My SoulThis life thing is so fascinating. When I was at home with my parents and siblings I had to do what my parents (and big sister) told me to do.

Read More Being The Best At What You DoIt’s as though there is a phase where there’s an on-rush of material that I’m fascinated about and eager to post and there’s just not enough time in the day to do it. This is not the first time I’ve come across the subject of death – although I hardly have a morbid obsession over […]
Read More How We Approach A Loved One Passing OnDeacon Henry – a stalwart of a church in Derby died today. Death at the best of times is something to take seriously, but this one had a big impact on me. I needed somewhere to express my gratitude to God for his life and here seemed to be the best place.
