  • 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…

  • faq

    Picking up a thought from yesterday’s bloggage got me wondering whether we ask the wrong questions and then are surprised and disappointed at the answers we get. Yesterday one of the questions that I suggested is thrown up by the apostle Paul pleading in vain for God to take away the “thorn in his flesh”…

  • sufficient

    I’ve written in the past about my experience of enduring years of chronic migraines and cluster headaches and how thankfully, following surgery, they are now no longer part of my experience. I am conscious that for many people chronic pain is still part of their experience – physical, emotional, mental and even spiritual pain is…

  • getting rid of the goat

    A fragment of papyrus has recently been found in the Sinai Desert. It appears to be part of a Hebrew Priest’s diary… Day 3874 Still not made it to the Promised Land. Moses has told us that God has given us a new way of dealing with our sin: a Scapegoat. After he’d made himself…
