son
I am reading a wonderful book at the moment. It’s called ‘stand’ and is written by Karl Martin, who was at Bible College at the same time as me (feel the reflective glory!). Indeed we played in the same football time. Or rather, I played in goal in the same team as Karl. When Karl…

gulp
Today I have been signing my life away. Or at least, that’s how it feels. I have been asked to act as guarantor for someone. Whilst I know them and trust them and I have no reason to doubt that they will pay what they owe it still felt a bit ‘gulp’ when I clicked ‘send’…

on loan
This is a book stand which my Dad made for me a number of years ago. I wanted a table top stand for my Bible so I could have it open in front of me while I was working. It fulfils that purpose brilliantly. In my previous role as a Minister in a local church…

small children in the park, tea towels for goalposts?
The text below comes from an article in today’s The Independent newspaper. Click on the link for the full glory of the article and cheesy pics. Chelsea have made some star signings over the years but this one would trump the lot – that of Jesus Christ. However, even with all his roubles, Chelsea owner Roman…

running away or towards?
Something dawned on me. A lightbulb lit. The mental microwave went ‘ping’. In the gospels there are two accounts of failed fishing trips on Galilee. The first is at the start of Jesus’ ministry (Luke 5:1-11) and the second is right at the end (John 21:1-13). In the first one Jesus had been using a…

so long and thanks for all the fishing
Today’s is my last bloggage! …while I am working for the wonderful people at Colchester Baptist Church*. To use one of Jesus’ analogies for following him, we have been fishing for people together (see this bloggage to understand the nukelearfishing bit a bit more) but after today I will be in a different boat. PTWOING! (That’s the…
