how does God answer prayer?
As hinted at in yesterday’s brief bloggage, I want to reflect a little more on how God answers prayer. Let me say right at the outset that I believe he does answer prayer. And yes there are three main ways he answers: “Yes” “No” “Not now” There is much that could be said in that,…

brief and personal
I am pleased to say that I have been very busy today, and will continue to be after a brief tea break. This means that I have not had time to get my thoughts ordered and bloggerel written today. Sorry. However, thank you to all who prayed in response to my request last week. Yesterday…

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…

access all areas
I have been amazed recently to find how much the current generation of popstars are using social networking and other media to enable their fans to follow them as never before.

Sunday morning promises to be amazing. Five people will be witnessing to their faith in Jesus Christ in Believer’s Baptism. I LOVE baptising people: it is one of the privileges and highlights of being a Minister (there are a lot!). It’s not so much the physical act of baptising someone, although the child in me…

under review
“What are people saying about me?” Have you ever wondered what the answers to that question might be? There are times when we might want to know the answers, and others when we would rather live in blissful ignorance. The answers may change at different times. Sometimes the answers may be positive, encouraging, exciting. On…

Spot the flame
The Olympic Torch Relay came squelching through Colchester on Friday. I took a photo and, if you look carefully, you can see the flame… but can you spot it? No prizes, it’s just for fun to demonstrate my wonderful photographic skills. Actually, bearing in mind there’s a delay on digital cameras and that the torch…

Cosmetic Splurgery
Last weekend Sally (my lovely wife) and I had a weekend off. We went away (leaving the children at home alone for the first time (ages 17 and 15 in case you were about to call the authorities)) and stayed at a hotel. It was a lovely, relaxing, special, re-creational time for us as a…
