Singing the Same Song
Churches often sing the same song differently! It is the same words and chords but maybe the metre is slightly different or emphasis placed on different words – but it is the same song. In church life we need to always remind ourselves that we are singing the same song. We may sing it a Read More …
Abseiling Spider
What a complete feat of strength! Imagine beige walls, beige ceiling – and suspended from an invisible rope….a dot – a dot that moves in the wind of your breath. That was the spider. A tiny beast, hanging on, abseiling from the ceiling to the floor. Tiny! He knew the game was up! My breath Read More …
The ‘Happening’ Place
All I did was sit in my car, ready to drive out of the car park – but I had a good view of roofs. Terraced houses were before me – roof after roof after roof. “That’s nothing special,” I hear you say. No. It is down to earth ordinary! However, what held my attention Read More …

Does he give in? Does he stand stunned, chest heaving, panting for breath? No. Our super-fit species gets Read More …
Life on hold
Slept. Slept. Slept. Took an epic walk to the corner shop. Slept. Sighed. Huffed. Sometimes illness is just total wipe-out – life….on hold. Knowing that things that need doing – simply cannot be done. Having thoughts – and forgetting them. Practically pinned to the sofa! In today’s fast-moving society, what does it take for Read More …
Your Moment
I’m not a morning person – but on holiday, with nothing to get up for, I was up with the sun! Wales. Sheep on hills. At the entrance to the camp site was a field of sheep. Sheep – all spread out, more likely to show a sheep’s bottom than a face – so used Read More …
