I was stunned.  How could such a thing happen today?  I honestly thought the human race had moved on and yet, the events in Charlottesville just serve to prove that far too often humanity does not learn the lessons of it’s past. I want to be absolutely clear.  Racism, in thought, word and deed is […]

What are you doing here? That’s a question I have been asking myself for the past few days! Last year, a friend came back from Hillsong London conference absolutely buzzing with what they had learnt.  Now, to understand what I did next you have to know me.  I am, by nature, a cautious person.  I […]

I am having a difficult time with a work colleague at the moment.  This morning, I am sad to say, things reached boiling point. My day looked particularly busy and so, I arrived at the office extra early, I had a few “5 minute” jobs to do.  It was then that my colleague decided to […]

Harry S Truman is quoted as saying; If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen It’s a phrase that has been used by many over the years.  For some people it’s used as a put down, “if you cannot cope with the pressure you are a wimp” for others it’s used as […]

I have a confession to make.  The above picture is of the inside of the mug I drink from when I am in the office! Disgusting isn’t it? I really enjoy a good cup of tea. Not for me the foul dishwater taste of Earl Grey or anemic fruit tea.  I like proper tea, builder’s […]

Is Britain Broken? It’s a fair question when we consider the events in our country over recent weeks. I was reminded, yesterday, of a verse in the Old Testament book of Judges which says; In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.(Judges 21 vs. 25) […]

My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones, a home and community in the tragedy of Grenfell Tower.  I cannot begin to imagine the fear and horror of those poor people and the nightmare they have lived through and continue to live through.  In this country we are really blessed to have […]

I can remember, many years ago, hearing a man called Dave Carr preach.  One of the phrases he used in his sermon really struck me, he said; The biggest threat to the Church in Britain will come, not from world religions but, from political correctness.
