making up for lost time
Gosh, was it nearly a month ago that I last posted a bloggage? That’s not good. I am surprised any of you are still interested! By way of apology I will put some posts up over the next week or so that are based on my reflections on a passage from the Bible on which…

the right time to change
Yesterday I had another of my regular visits to hospital to see various specialists and also have some more blood tests. I would have thought by now they’d know whether or not my blood had passed the test and was fully qualified as blood, but apparently not. I’ve described my progress following my heart surgery…

Rather belatedly, “Happy New Year!” Why is it that we celebrated new years? After all it’s just another 360 degree rotation of the planet on our orbit of the sun, just like any other. The fact that we have decided to number and name dates does not make them any more special than any other.…

Christmas present
As I am recycling at the moment (eg Nora the Noisy Angel) I thought I would recycle a ‘thought for the week’ I sent to the Ministers in the Eastern Baptist Association this week. I had a clever mailing from a well-known Swedish furniture store come through my letter box last week. On the front…

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…

If I could turn back time…
This morning on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show (yes, I am a Radio 2 listener now) they were attempting to give away some tickets to a concert tonight. People had texted in the day before and they called one person back to offer them the tickets on the basis that they would be prepared to…

[clears throat]
Ladies and Gentlemen, bloggists and twitterers, I have an important announcement. [cue fanfare. You will have to do your own as I am too much of a cheapskate to have audio files added to this blog]. Today is another day. I know. Profound isn’t it? Actually, today is the 46th anniversary of the day I…

Tomorrow comes a day early
It’s highly unlikely that I will have much time to blog tomorrow, so I am offering some bloggerel today so that you can read something tomorrow if you visit the site and want some bloggage. Of course by then I will have written this yesterday. And it will be today. Unless of course you are…
