Something interesting happened this morning which, sadly, my photo does not do justice too. My wife, Paula, was setting up the song and reading boards (yes, we still have them) when she called me to come from my office to look at something, “just look at that” she said. I took a look at […]
It’s interesting how things sometimes fit together. Over the past few weeks, I have been feeling a bit “out of sorts”, a bit low, not comfortable in my own skin. There have been some issues to wrestle with, through work and some things I have been heavily involved with in the past, I can no […]
How did you cope with the time change? For those of my readers who are wondering what I am on about, in the UK last weekend we moved our clocks forward one hour to British Summer Time. Twice a year we go through the ritual “Spring Forward, Fall Back”. I always struggle for a few […]
I was feeling pretty wound up this morning when I got into the office. I am sure you know the feeling. I had been out of the office for just one day and it seemed like there was an Everest of paperwork all needed doing ready for the next lot of meetings. […]
I had a lovely passage as part of my daily quiet time this morning. It came from Isaiah 65; “Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for […]
This morning, I switched my computer on and did a bit of clearing up. I was amazed at how much rubbish had got on there. We have a name for that rubbish, it is known as “Spam”. I remember Spam (I think you can still buy it in) and I used to quite like it, […]
Like many people, we are having a visit from a weather condition known as “The Beast From The East”. It’s been quite an interesting few days. A very slippy drive into work this morning proved very challenging! In our Church, we run a group that supports the homeless vulnerably housed. We were very busy this […]
I wanted, some time ago, to write a blog about the recent tragic events in America. I have held back simply because, I was not too sure what to say and how to put it. In some respects it is none of my business because, I am not an American, I have never […]
I rushed into my office this morning with the urgent need to print something off ready for our morning service. I started my computer, switched on the printer and found the document. I hit the print icon, and waited. I waited for a little while, yet nothing seemed to emerge from the printer. I […]
There was something in my quiet time this morning that really challenged me. The passage came from Mark 7 where the Pharisees complain that Jesus’ disciples were eating with “defiled hands”. Simply, the disciples had forgotten to wash their hands before eating food. For the Pharisees, this was a big deal and they wanted to […]
