  • the saga of the mouth scaffolding continued

    Yesterday evening I was frustrated. You may be aware (if you read my previous bloggage) that I currently have scaffolding on my teeth (aka mouth braces) in an attempt to relocate my teeth to where God intended them to be. And it imposes limitations on me that I dislike (sometimes intensely). One of the things about…

  • elasticated

    So I was lying in the dentist’s chair, looking at the photo on the ceiling (it’s of someone in a powered parachute flying over the sea next to some cliffs) and trying not to pay too much attention to what the dentist was doing. She was working on the scaffolding that I have attached to…

  • links to a narticle wot I roted

    A while ago I was asked to write an article for the Baptist Union magazine Baptists Together.

That magazine has now been circulated around Baptist Churches and you can download a…

  • a love story

    This Sunday morning in my sermon I will be exploring Hosea (the whole book). Every time I come to Hosea I find myself thinking, “What would I do if I was in Hosea’s position?” How would I feel? How would I cope? Hosea’s story is a love story… of sorts. The narrative is fascinating: Hosea…

  • view from my pew 10

    Dear Internet Mr Grenville-Stubbs here again. It has been a while since I wrote on Nick’s blog and the main reason for that is that he has been blocking what I wanted to write. In the end I told him that by not allowing me to write he might be stifling God’s Spirit. He relented on…
