tickly coughs
I have a tickly cough. The back of my throat gets irritated/tickled and it causes a cough reflex to try to get rid of the sensation. It’s irritating. It’s not debilitating. It’s not desperately uncomfortable. It won’t require a trip to the hospital or even the doctor. And I have some medicine to soothe and…

risk
Oooh, isn’t it interesting what ignites people’s interest? The mention of something topical and a bit controversial in the blog title yesterday caused a surge in views. The letter in the Daily Telegraph from 50 high profile people complaining about our Prime Minister describing the country as ‘Christian’ made headline news. (I was interested in the…

blind criticism
Recently I watched an interview with Russell Crowe, who was asked about his film Noah. He said that he had received criticism for it – mainly from people who had not actually seen the film. That approach really annoys me. Why is it that people (Christians especially) are willing to criticise, condemn, attack and even…

C3H5N3O9*
Today two of my Christian siblings are meeting for the first time. They are people who are unashamed of their faith and whose faith clearly makes a difference to how they live, how they treat others and how they are perceived by others.

Apparently it makes it easier for people to find me. But it also reveals, through this clever cloud thingy, the emphases in my reflections.…

Today’s bloggage, hopefully…
Okay, sorry about the glitch – I accidentally deleted the content just after I had posted it. Sorry if you are getting loads of notifications that don’t work. I didn’t know what would happen when I clicked on a button! And that’s what I was blogging about, ironically. I wrote bloggage about how I didn’t…

enter the matrix
I am not sure when I first came across the matrix that is supposed to help you prioritise I have always found it helpful, but there are a couple of problems: Who decides whether something is urgent or important? What I consider important, for example, may be considered unimportant by others. What happens to the…

power to the people?
In an era when we are all acutely conscious of the cost of gas and electricity, and Power Companies are replacing Banks as Public Enemy Number One in the media-led vilification stakes, two thoughts occur to me. One is to ask myself how I would feel if I was working for one of these institutions…
