  • Profound thoughts and how to fail at remembering them

    So… here I am sitting down trying to think profound thoughts to share with the world via my blog. And the problem is that I find that profound thoughts are really elusive (pun intended). They are a bit like Nanny McPhee. When you want one and you are looking for them you can’t find them.…

    (Admittedly this is probably scraping the barrel!)

  • zooom

    So, dear Bloggists, I have been away for a week with Sally (the wonderful lady to whom I am married) in the Lake District. That is why this page has been silent for the past week – sorry. We had a fantastic time. We walked over hills and down valleys and around lakes. We saw…

  • Holy Hamsters

    This is Sandy. She was the first of our family hamsters. As you can see she was a very holy, prayerful hamster. . It may be that she was actually eating a sunflower seed, but it looks like a praying hamster to me (as opposed to a praying mantis). I use that image to illustrate…

      There have been several major tragic events in the UK in the past few weeks, involving significant loss of life and injury, and my heart goes out to all who have been bereaved or injured. Recognising and honouring the incredible acts of selfless generosity and heroism that have been shown in response to these…

  • doing things properly

    One of the things that has occupied a lot of my thinking recently is our EBA Gatherings. These are opportunities for us to get together from across the Association. (In case you were unaware the first one takes place in the Southern Sector this Saturday at Romford Baptist Church. You can find out details about…

  • faith in a spin?

    Today I put my faith in the weather forecast. It told me that although it was going to be very cloudy it was not going to rain and there would be a good breeze. ‘Perfect,’ I thought, ‘just right for doing some loads of washing.’ Stop sniggering. So I put a load of washing in…

  • Hateful

    Over the last week or so hate has been bothering me. Not, I hasten to add, because I am feeling hated. And not because I hate someone else. I was reading some comments online from someone I don’t know but whom I respect about the level of negative, critical, judgmental, cruel and rude comments they…
