The mind is an interesting thing. When I woke up this morning, I was reminded of something that happened when I was a child. There was no obvious trigger, the event itself wasn’t particularly momentous, but still my brain decided to replay it for me. If it had been a happy memory, that would haveContinue reading “Lent 2025: Pressing on – leaving the past behind”

Whose voice is it? – lent 2023
As we go through each day, things we see, do or say leave an impact. Sometimes that impact lasts seconds, sometimes it lasts years.

I have written before about how important my friends have been as I have learnt about having a relationshipContinue reading “God equips the called”
Hunting for God: Fasting week 1
Think I’ve now mastered how to keep track of the weeks in the title without confusing myself! Took long enough… Anyway, I’m sure you’ve been eagerly awaiting to find out what I’m fasting. So I prayed and I think the best thing for me to say here is I think God wants me to fastContinue reading “Hunting for God: Fasting week 1”
Being Boromir

If you haven’t seen The Lord of the Rings: The Extended Edition, fair warning: SPOILER ALERT!Continue reading “Being Boromir”
