  • champion

    I was at a Church Meeting last night (and was immensely blessed by the experience). As a frequent ‘outside observer’ of Church Meetings I have a few ‘hunches’ (not caused by uncomfortable seating): The way a room is set out may have a correlation with the mood of the meeting. If those leading the meeting…

    I am on a waiting list for surgery on my heart. It was something of a surprise when I was told that I needed an operation and, if I’m honest, being on a waiting list has been rather disruptive to my life and work as I have not been able to book things in my…

  • delivering: a verdict

    One of the unanticipated side-effects of the expansion of the internet and the seemingly inexorable rise in online shopping is a corresponding rise in the number of delivery companies and vans. (If you want a tip for any spare cash you have hidden under the mattress (no, I am not a financial adviser so take…

  • time for Remembering

    For those leading services on Remembrance Sunday it can be one of the most fraught days of the year. It is not necessarily because of the content but because most services start before or at 11am on the Sunday and we have to incorporate the 2 minutes’ silence at the right time. This requires a level of…

  • radio control

    My sailing boat is radio-controlled (It’s the one with the green hull). I have discovered that there are two types of radio control units.

  • can you hear him?

    This next few days are very busy and my opportunities to inflict bloggages on you will be limited, so this will have to do for a while. Let me explain why… Today I am planning to enjoy a day off. I am planning to go sailing with Sally (model yacht sailing) and this evening I…

  • attention!

    Everyone wants our attention nowadays don’t they? Our mobile phones let us know when we have received a message and then flash a light at us incessantly until we have acknowledged that fact. It seems to me that junk mail is on the increase (particularly the sort that is pushed through everybody’s letterbox indiscriminately (pizza…

  • best bible bits

    On my shelf I have a book “Best Bible Bits”, published in 1984. It started out as a school project to discover how to encourage others to look at the Bible, and one of the ideas was to ask famous people what their favourite bits of the Bible were, in the hope that this might…

  • is that for me?

    A few days ago I was preparing to phone someone who has been going through a very difficult time. Just before I spoke to them I had a look at an app on my mobile phone that pings me a verse from the Bible each day. It seemed quite appropriate for the conversation I was…

  • communication

    A piece of advice we were given before we got married was ‘always kiss each other goodnight’. As well as being romantic, it also ensures that there are no lasting grievances between you that are unresolved at the end of the day. Good advice I think – it’s worked for us for 25 years. A…
