One of the most discussed topics in the last year has been the wearing of face masks. In almost every country in the world there have been protests when local governments have made the wearing of fac…
The feeling of your breath being sucked out of your lungs as the drowning from not being able to get oxygen into them, as your knees and legs feel the pain of not being used properly for a while, tha…
Sometimes we have a real fear of failure. I felt that this week when I was doing my couch to 5k run. I am an asthmatic and have dodgy knees so running is very difficult.
During this Corona Virus outbreak, I have had to carry out a number of funerals, which under normal circumstances would have had the church packed to the rafters, however, due to restrictions all of …
It is certainly true that there have been times when it is clean and tidy, but mostly it feels busy and a bit like painting the Forth Road Bridge – clear one bit then start again at the beginning.
The Bible asks us to have faith in God. Hebrews 11:1 even defines what faith is. All the great heroes of Scripture had faith in God, not that their faith didn’t wobble at times.
You know how it is when someone tells you a story and you can see it in your head, or when you read a good book, and your brain fills in the gaps and your imagination colours it in bringing it to lif…
We have the power to thrive in any situation. What do you think of that? Does it sound far-fetched? Does it even sound like a Christian statement? Your mind might be turning to those deeply cringewor…
Autumn is a beautiful time of year. As the leaves on the trees turn to various shades of red, yellow and golden brown they offer up a wonderful display for us to enjoy.
When we get to know somebody, we get to know what they sound like, so if someone imitates them, we are more likely to recognise it. I know my husband well so I would know if someone pretended to be J…
The balance is a difficult one and I am sure that there are many difficult challenges and decisions being faced in family groups also. It all may seem very oppressive and restraining, and it may even…
I don’t like the damp and dark days that seem to suddenly leap out in front of us at this time of year. I much prefer the long warm evenings of summer, when every window is open, when I can enjoy be…
Then there was the other criminal. But in his case, he appeared to have a rather different attitude of heart than his confederate. Maybe it was that the Holy Spirit was working in his heart during th…
We LOVE the familiar, no surprises, known, routines and habits. We don’t take well to people or circumstances that bring about change. For example: A New boss at work, with new ideas, new targets and…
Many of us are familiar with the fear of exposure. Perhaps we’re new to a job and we don’t quite have the skills that we put on our CV. So, we work hard so that people won’t see our mistakes and we t…
We recently opened the church for the first time on a Sunday after the lock-down. At that service we sang “Praise my soul the King of Heaven”. This song features the repeated refrain “Praise Him Prai…
Everyone has to live with it, and we all have different ways of handling it. Most of us would not hand a car salesman our bank account details and tell them to surprise us with any type of car
A few weeks ago, I fulfilled one of my want to do ambitions. I had been involved on three peak challenges as the minibus driver on occasion but not climbed any of the three peaks, Ben Nevis, Scafell …
