So, are you a half full or, a half empty person? You know what I mean by that?  An optimistic person can be described as a glass half full, and a pessimistic person can be described as having their glass half empty.  I have met both kinds of people as I am sure you have […]

Don’t panic!  This is not a reflection on dietary demands and reducing your BMI!!! I was reading the Bible the other day, and I read something that really spoke to me.  Jesus is preparing His disciples to go out into the big-wide world to share His gospel message.  He gives them some advice and it […]

I have debated long and hard about whether or not to write this down and share it on the interweb.  I am not one who goes in for bearing my soul for all and sundry but, I have done this in the hope that it helps somebody out there in blogland! I have not written […]

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 […]
