So continuing the series of Prayer-Points after last week’s beginning, here are the points for your prayerful consideration. Arthur Sido Two years ago, Arthur Sido meant nothing to me. Yet the wonders of this Internet business allowed me through various sources to come across Sido’s blog The Voice Of One Crying In Suburbia. Another […]
Read More Prayer Points (WE-110115)(Please check this week’s Prayer Points) Paper Talk Inspiration The Guardian, as ever objective and in no way leaning to a liberal, humanist and secular agenda, asks the question should schools require Christian worship? This comes at an intriguing time as I just read about the Anabaptist movement which was all for the separation of church […]
Read More The Church And The State – Educating Christopher’s ChildrenDeborah, 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 […]
Read More Always Remember: Keep This In MindApparently, according to close sources, I can be a rather pompous and arrogant kind of fellow. One who could be accused of having one’s head located at some point up the posterior orifice if one can disseminate the essence of one’s desired statement of intent. My own fault, I reckon, I get carried away with […]
Read More When Christ And Politics CollideSo 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 still amused by the mentality of not talking about religion or politics around the dinner table. Or like in The Godfather where you’re not allowed to talk about business around the family dinner table. Those things make me chuckle. What I chuckle about is how silly that rule is, where else can you get […]
Read More Spiritual and Political – Whether We Like It Or NotGetting the balance right is something to be very conscious about. There are many demands on your time, some put on you by others, some put on by yourself, some that appear urgent and important and some that appear not to be the case but actually they are. I recognise that life being lead by […]
Read More The Ongoing Quest Of Getting The Balance RightI realise that not every blog entry has to be a mini-essay and treatise on the issues in me head. Sometimes short and sweet can be just as good as long, with pictures, etc. Anyhow I was thinking, why are we so content with church that’s not really in line with the character that the […]
Read More Some Bugging Thoughts and QuestionsIt wasn’t that long ago that I was reading the biography of Michael Foot by Kenneth O. Morgan. When you read it you’ll note that at the time I was eager to write a review when I finished reading it, but never got round to it. Recently of course there have been tributes on the […]
Read More What’s In A Death – Michael FootI have heard it said that we live in a country that at least used to be a Christian country. There is shock and alarm at the way the faith is being marginalised in this ever changing pluralistic society in which we live in. The issue is all the more to people’s mind as the […]
