  • smite*

    We live in confusing times*. There is so much to celebrate at the moment, especially if you are English. Our national football team is doing rather better than expected in the World Cup leading to a growing national hysteria and expectation that “football’s coming home.” I think we’d better make sure we leave a key…

  • it sucks!

    At the moment I have what I call a ‘sucky dressing’ on. It’s a clever dressing with a small pump that creates a vacuum to drain a wound area. Without going into gory details I have been wearing them since the beginning of May when an issue arose, and I will need them for a…

  • the inner toddler

    I like to think of myself as being fairly laid back. Most of the time I am able to reflect calmly and intelligently on events and then respond appropriately (possibly). But I know that when I am tired I get grumpy more easily and little things that would not bother me normally now irritate me…

  • there and back again

    As a child I used to love the animated short stories on TV from Trumpton, Chigley and Camberwick Green. If you’ve never seen them then find them and watch them – they have a charm and innocence that is special. Many of the characters had their own rhymes or songs that accompanied their actions, especially…

  • the right time to change

    Yesterday I had another of my regular visits to hospital to see various specialists and also have some more blood tests. I would have thought by now they’d know whether or not my blood had passed the test and was fully qualified as blood, but apparently not. I’ve described my progress following my heart surgery…

  • I have some questions…

    There are times when I read what another Christian has written or said and I wonder whether I am reading the same Bible as them because I can’t justify their behaviour based on what I read in my Bible. Now I realise that in writing this bloggage I am opening myself up to an accusation…

  • Three weeks I’ll never forget

    So, dear bloggists, the time has come for me to let you know what’s been happening for the past 4 weeks. I will try to be brief, but a lot has happened. If you read my previous bloggage you’ll know that I went into hospital on 12th February for an aortic root replacement operation. If…

  • courageous reasoning

    With all the love, grace and encouragement I can muster I want to ask you to bear with me and read this bloggage to the end. It may be the most important one I have ever written. One of the things that an imminent operation on your heart does for you is force you to…

  • thoughts on communion

    This bloggage began its life as a ‘Thought for the week’ shared with the Ministers I serve in the Eastern Baptist Association. As you will see I have extended my thinking a little since the original ‘Thought’. As you probably know by now I am about to undergo some surgery on 13th February, which will…

  • ahem, ahem **clears throat for important announcement**

    Dear bloggists. Just a quick note to say that I have a date for my operation. I will be going in to hospital on 12th February for a 12,000 mile service (and some heart surgery). I may well post some bloggages before I go in, but I won’t be posting bloggages for a little while…
