Are you like me - like arriving early for meetings, parties, church services and lunches??.. probably more likely I arrive to lunches early because I really like starters and nibbles. You know the o…
Jamie and I watched the TV program called the repair shop this week. In the program the experts took items that used to be precious, whether that be toys or trophies or even a bell. These things had …
One of my favourite TV shows is one called ‘Would I lie to You?’ The premise of the show is that celebrity teams have to make convincing arguments from statements which they have not seen beforehand,…
One of the important aspects of working with children and young people is in encouraging and developing their skills in using their voice. By this, I mean in having the ability and confidence to spea…
If there is a good thing that came out of the past year, it must be the fact that some people started to look around and see the needs of others and reached out a helping hand. Throughout the last ye…
It makes us feel like David is boasting about himself, and that because he’s racked up enough points with God, God has come to his aid to rescue him in his time of need. We can easily treat moral act…
Television was one of the greatest inventions of the last Century. It has become one of the essentials of life, something that few of us can ever remember being without. I have to say I don't watch a…
If the nevers of life are discouraging you, if you’ve waited for the Lord to fulfill His promises to you, if you wonder why God has allowed such a lengthy delay in answering the deepest cries of your…
So my first point is that even when we try to go against what God wants, God
will still use it for good. Those sailors began to praise God because Jonah had
been on the boat. If Jonah had chosen to d…
‘Mamma Mia’, here I go again. These beacons come round quite frequently, so thank you for another opportunity that I have for you to ‘take a chance on me’. Being an encouragement is the ‘name of the …
If you know our house then you’ll know how much we like visitors, in usual times, people staying over and people coming for meals. We’ve had many a bonfire and a big pan of curry and chatted late int…
Today I would like us to look at appearances. How do we appear to other people? is it a true image of ourselves or is it someone else that we project outwards? In a world where people put most of the…
I have the gift of simplification, do you have it too? It’s a double edged sword, and often a keyboard with a worn down delete key. I love simplifying things, even when I don’t do it well. I’ve recen…
Well I had a day at home and although I had work to do I had agreed that it would be my turn to make Dinner. The day before we had a Turkey thigh, which I had slow cooked for 8 hours, so we had a big…
There is a story about a man who had parked his motorhome at a campsite near Newquay. One night, someone was trying to steal fuel from his motorhome. He put the hose in and sucked hard. At this point…
Have you ever seen the film the Lord of the Rings? We are watching it for the first time with the kids. I had forgotten how much I love the films and it is a joy to be able to introduce them to someb…
One thing that keeps cropping up, is the encouragement to submit, whether to authorities, masters, or husbands – it is a fairly inclusive instruction for us to live in harmony with each other, in ord…
Milk in glass bottles, warm, with a thick layer of cream at the top that you were keen to drink, even though it had been in a warm classroom for half a day? School dinners where there were always sec…
“What are you grateful for today?” I often ask my husband and he often asks me this question at the end of the day. When I ask him this question I think about what happened on that day that blessed m…
Perhaps it feels strange to hear this coming out of the Bible. Ecclesiastes is a weird book. To put it bluntly, it is very ‘earth centred’. If you’ve ever heard someone say that Christianity is a ‘pi…
