  • a new catchphrase

    I have a new catchphrase. No, not ‘Nice to see you, to see you… nice’ or ‘Just like that’. It sits alongside a phrase I tend to use a lot, which I coined back in 2010. Regular bloggites will already know what it is: We are called to be ‘free samples of Jesus’. If we…

  • a fun bloggage

    My bloggerel seems to be influenced by breakfast cereal at the moment. This morning as I was munching on my non-brand wheat-based biscuits I glanced at a box of crispy rice cereal that was left on the table. On the front was an advert for a ‘fun colour me in activity’ on the back of…

  • the real thing?

    In an effort to start the day with a healthy and filling breakfast I have been eating wheat-based, biscuit-shaped cereal. Not the branded ones that have a name that blends the content with the shape, but supermarket own-brand ones. And I can tell the difference. These fall apart rather easily, are not as densely packed…

  • coin-cidentally speaking

    Regular bloggites may have gathered that I like gadgets. I love to see and experience changes in technology, marvel at innovation and see how these change the way I carry out tasks. One of my favourite gadgets is very simple in concept, clever in the way it carries out the task and effective in achieving…

  • O God our help as age is passed

    I am now an old geezer. A birthday has taken place that has moved me to a new status in life. It’s not my birthday: it’s the 18th birthday for number one offspring (aka Thomas). That means that I am now a parent of an adult. Eek! I can feel the life and energy draining…

  • beyond profound

    Do you ever wish you could say something really profound? Something so astonishingly significant that it gets retweeted, forwarded on Facebook and becomes an internet phenomenon? I’d like to do that just once. I don’t think it’s eg0-driven. It’s more the excitement of being the originator of something that resonates with lots of other people.…

  • speedy service

    Today many people across the UK who were not previously ‘into’ cycling are celebrating Bradley Wiggins’ achievement in winning the Tour de France cycle race. To me, the idea of completing one stage is amazing, but to complete the whole Tour and win it is an astonishing achievement. He rightly deserves all the plaudits that…

  • what a weekend

    This past weekend has been full of significant events. Very edited highlights follow: On Saturday I attended the reopening of our local Salvation Army premises following a significant refit. It is very impressive and a great improvement on what they had. I particularly liked the prayer that asked that the walls would soon be scuffed…

  • travelling companions

    This weekend has been provocative, inspiring, encouraging and challenging at different times. Ideas and possibilities of whirring through my mind and I am trying to assimilate them all. I am trying to work out what God not concerned to me and to our church through all of these different thoughts and ideas. One of the…

  • good customer service(s)

    Yesterday evening as I was driving our car gently down Colchester High Street towards church we heard a loud ‘thump’ from the rear of the car. It sounded like I had driven over something, but there was nothing in the mirrors. As I drove on there was a knocking sound from the back of the…
