You know when things are not right in a relationship, if you really pay attention. The answers are more clipped, there is a sense that the distance is greater between you. What was once warm and engaging now appears stilted and clinical. It is when you remember what you did that you see the need […]
Read More Psalm 80 – Cry for RestorationYeah, when I read the word I could only remember A Christmas Carol and Ebenezer Scrooge. (In fact there was also a house tune that had a line that said ‘He’s a scrooge, He’s a scrooge, He’s Ebenezer Scrooge.’ Not that I was into house music much in the past, but a good friend of mine […]
Read More Sam’s 1st Epic 07 – EbenezerHanley Park located in Stoke-on-Trent is a pleasant Park overall. More or less. Kinda. When I walk to the train station I tend to go through the park and do enjoy strolling through it. Yet the Park is not in peak condition. Some families are hesitant to walk through certain areas of the park due […]
Read More A Word On RestorationFor what feels like years, part of the world of television advertising has been dominated by the GoCompare campaign. First you had the singing tenor dude doing his thing in various settings and then the company really latched onto the public sentiment by sending him up as a target figure for the millions who were […]

One of the things I love about the season is how it’s a season of death, […]
Read More Hibernation and PreparationAt the moment I enjoy my sleeping patterns. In the evening my wife and youngest daughter will retire to bed at a relatively early time and being exhausted by events, I won’t have that much stamina to stay up for that much longer and I’m usually gone before 11pm. Almost like clockwork way before 6am […]
Read More Thanking God For The ValleyFor he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both […]
Read More Jesus Is … The Prince of PeaceThe story often referred to as the Prodigal Son is a brilliant example of what the ministry of reconciliation is all about.
