the parable of the lost pen
There was a man who had a favourite pen. It was not an expensive pen, but it wrote nicely and he had bought some refills for it so he could continue to use it for a long time as well as being more environmentally friendly. One day, when he was looking to write something with…

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…

i can’t believe it’s not clutter
Sometimes I don’t know what bloggerel I will write until I sit down and start typing. Sometimes I don’t know until after I have started typing. Sometimes you don’t know even when I have finished! Today I was sitting at my desk, looking for inspiration, when I realised just how untidy my desk has become.…

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. Twitter accounts allow fans to see what they are up to and comment on it. Websites give all the details fans would want to…

proverbial tension
“The Lord will provide.” How many times have you heard that or said that? Let me say that I do not doubt the truth of it. But there have been times when I have heard it said and it has been (in my opinion) a little bit of a cop out. It has been said…
