resolutions that happen to be made at the start of a new year
Do you ever wonder what other people really think about you? Beneath the superficial greetings and pleasantries, what do they like about you? What do they struggle with? I am not being paranoid or self-obsessed (am I?), but I am in the middle of a process at the moment where I am considering the real me…

the future is bright, the future is God’s
Hello, dear bloggites. I hope and pray that 2012 will bring blessing, comfort, encouragement and peace to you all. It will also probably bring a lot more bloggerel from me – you have been warned! The good old Baptist Union of Great Britain is having a very serious look at itself in the face of…

Than in prickly hay – all animal-slobber-smelly? Were your parents concerned about where you were lying? Did you keep the animals awake with your new-born crying… And the cattle get their…
