If you ever get the chance, there’s a Jon Gibson song I really recommend you listen to called On Calvary. You might get it on iTunes, or Amazon, but obviously for both himself and meself it would be better if you just got it direct from his own web-site in the Buy Music section under […]
Read More Why I Love Jesus and Why I Love What I DoFrom time to time I get in those phases of thought on issues that concern more than me. Recently, I was informed by a close personal friend that someone I knew was struggling with their sexual identity. Sadly for the individual in question they belonged to certain church-folk who … to put it politely … […]
Read More Community of Compassion or Community of Hypocrisy?This evening’s entry was scheduled to be on Essentials, but some news I received today sent me over the edge and something I had planned to write on later has to be expressed now at least in part. I don’t know if you’ve ever raged at God, but I know I have. I’ve been aware […]
Read More On Outrages, Injustices, Travesties and TraumasSo much for the hiatus, eh? There were technical difficulties, honest. Me laptop was playing something silly, but I guess what happened was that I just got used to accessing the little netbook of me wife and got me fingers around how small it is. Indeed as the consolation of the beggar and pauper suggests, […]
Read More What I’ve Been Reading LatelyI’m not in a tricky position, but I am in an interesting scenario that I reckon one or two people might understand. I’m working for a training organisation that respects equal opportunities and celebrates diversity in no way looking to enforce one view over another (although even that is enforcing the false view of not […]
Read More Anything Wrong With Person-Centred Counselling?When I get round to telling the story of our journey to Milton Keynes you’ll begin to appreciate how good God is to us. Today was the first day at work in Northampton and first impressions are good … well at least promising and I hope it continues developing on that theme through my time […]
Read More Miracles in MKRecently I was having a go at the term ‘good luck’. From time to time I come across phrases and sayings that tickle me silly for one reason or another. I think of them and then think a bit more about them and get a quizzical look on my face that slowly changes to bafflement […]
Read More Safe and SoundOki-doki, so it’s the blessed Sabbath and I’d usually be embracing these with all the love and joy of someone in desperate need of God’s emblem of eternal rest. Whilst I do so, however, there hangs over me the issue of the move. You’re still wondering where to, and I will update you on that […]
Read More What’s Luck Got To Do, Got To Do With It?I was just informed by my sister recently that my Aunt Nalda has died. She was suffering for quite a while so in one sense it’s the end of the suffering, on the other hand though, more importantly, someone in the family has died. My mum’s sister has died. Life is for the living. Life […]
Read More For The Living – In Times Of ConsolationIndependence is such a vaunted quality in life today and yet the reality is that it’s only by interdependence that any success has ever been achieved. Even those who learn by themselves would not have been as successful in a vacuum and the very tools that help them learn by themselves had to be put […]
