OK, last day in Encanto (please keep cheering to a minimum, some people like Disney…) Now we reach the main character, Mirabel herself. Mirabel wasn’t blessed with a gift when she became the right age. She doesn’t have a room of her own. At the beginning of the film we see her introduce her wholeContinue reading “40 day challenge day 10: Waiting on a miracle”

40 day challenge day 9: We need to talk about Bruno…
OK, so if you haven’t seen Encanto, that title is very random! But I can’t put him off any longer. Bruno is Abuela’s son and Mirabel’s uncle. He is absent for the first half of the film. His gift is having visions of the future. People don’t always want to hear his visions. Bruno lovesContinue reading “40 day challenge day 9: We need to talk about Bruno…”
40 day challenge day 6: Pressure
Encanto, day 2. What else can be a barrier to a close relationship with God? Enter Luisa, Mirabel’s oldest sister. (If you need a catch up on what I’m talking about, read yesterday’s post and/or watch Encanto.) Luisa’s gift is being super strong.

That’s why it’s made its way intoContinue reading “40 day challenge day 5: You can’t earn it”

I always try to find a way to link what I’m trying to say back to the bible. Because ultimately that’s an historical document which I believe can be relied upon. There are scholars out there (more specialised than me) who can show how reliable the bible is as a document using the dates andContinue reading “Inspiring others with our story”
Don’t count sheep!
Have you ever seen White Christmas? I was fortunate enough to see it on the West End with Aled Jones and Tom Chambers, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Fantastic talent and a brilliant story-line. But there was one song that stuck with me long after I left the theatre (and no, I don’t mean White Christmas!)Continue reading “Don’t count sheep!”
