The Ants are back!

Around this time last year, one of the rooms of our flat hosted an unwelcome army of visitors. Ants. They came crawling up through the carpet and all over my desk, chair and work out equipment. Last year, when I first noticed it was pretty shocking, it seemed like the ground was moving. It happens …

First Draft Done!!!

Sorry everyone for my inconsistent posting. I have an excuse, a valid one this time. Honest. A couple of years back I felt an urge to write a book. Me being me, a lot of focus was put on the planning side of it. However over the last few months, basically since 2020 I started …

How Can I Improve?

Occasionally God interrupts my morning quiet time routine. These are exciting times and more often than not, I love to engage with Him in this. Today He presented a near-forgotten memory to my mind and asked me to 'wrestle' with Him over it. Bible down and prayer begins. When I was a teenager and up …

Jesus in the Gospel of Mark

Who is this Man? Jesus is the Miracle-Worker, healing those that come to Him with faith, multiplying food for those who eagerly listen without concern for their rumbling-stomachs, walking on water in order to be present with those whom He loved. Jesus is the Masterful-Teacher, instructing the crowds, challenging the religious experts and nurturing His …

Discipleship – Multiplying life

There we go, there's a nice, big, blocky, pixilated photo for you all to fix your eyes upon. I'm sure we'll all enjoy zooming in and out of that with the tiny smartphone screens. Thanks for stopping by. I wanted to share the contents of a chapter I read today from Mike Breen's book: Building …

No, Journaling has had a love-like relationship with me for many years. I started when I …

The White Flag: Called and Equipped to do much.

One of the significant activities God has been leading me into over the last 5 months is the process of 'stepping out of ministry'. This has been an interesting time and I've learnt a lot. I wanted to share a bit of that journey and what it's all been like. Since October 2017, I have …

Heroes of the Faith

And it's Monday again, and it's a bank holiday at that, so I've had another good long weekend. Feels like I'm getting a lot of time off work at the moment - which isn't a bad thing. But I forced myself to write this on Monday evening again, trying to build a regular habit of …

…consider this blog post #1 …again

Well I’m having a pretty awesome evening. It’s Monday after work, and I’m kicking back with some blog writing. It’s been a while and I’m sorry. Sorry to myself for letting this slip. But it’s been a pretty hectic few months, since December, and not in the usual sense. Hectic in what I feel like …
