One of my favourite female vocalists – whatever genre. Gifted is an understatement. So to put that good use in this scenario is just the ticket. Also the song reminds me of the old days back in Wellingborough. It’s a song that would come from my dad’s lips on a Sunday afternoon as he comes […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Because He Lives – Kim BurrellI am thoroughly enjoying the series on insights from Matthew, and although it appears as though I’m behind schedule with the chapters, trust me when I tell you it is all in hand and come Monday 28th February, it will be alright and all complete. It gives me sufficient time, however to address something that scandalously […]
Read More Remembering My BaptismIntroduction Friday evenings. Back when I was growing up (not that I’ve stopped, you understand) at home with my siblings and parents (in reverse order, obviously), this evening was significant. TV would be turned off. The football magazines or comics would have to be put away. Before sun-set any necessary house chores were quickly completed. […]
Read More Prayer Points (WE-110108)I was sorely tempted to run a series of posts this evening, but I thought otherwise, because on a day like today, it’s all about relaxing. There is still enough time to reflect on the year 2010 and without going into great detail my recollections are as follows: January: Having moved to Little Hulton at […]
Read More Thanking God for 2010School plays. Did you love school plays? Even if they were just plays for your year or your class, did you like them? I liked them. I remember doing ‘There’s A Hole In My Bucket’ at Infant School – but that is a vague recollection of my first performance. I remember the school plays when […]
Read More Leaving Stoke – One Year OnSo, 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 SoulYou know certain songs remind you of certain places and certain times and certain people. I hear this song and I think of Wellingborough, I think of my younger teen years and I think of my Dad. Back in the day I couldn’t care less about praying. Especially prayer meetings, they were good times to […]
Read More Sweet Hour of PrayerToday I was having some fun on the ol’ Facebook catching up with one or two photos that needed to be tagged. As I was tagging them it occurred to me just what memories can be sparked by a photo. So many stories wrapped up even as you tag those who should be remembered on […]
Read More A Photo Tells …This may come as a shock and a surprise to you, but I can often be found thinking about things. (Yeah, there you go for the shock of the day – take your time in recovering from that.) As in contemplating them and pondering and wondering. For example today I was minding my own business […]
Read More OriginsDeborah, my beloved first-born, asked me recently why she would have to be quiet after break today (Thursday). I thought that was a bit of an odd question to ask until my wife helped me understand that it was Remembrance Day with the poppies and the things related to it. When that finally clicked, it […]
