Now stand here quietly before the Lord as I remind you of all the great things the Lord has done for you
1 Samuel 12:7

This post is dedicated to my carrots growing in my garden - they are not ready to pull up yet but will be soon. It is very emotional for me - like birthing my own little vegetables. Growing food in your garden is great and tastes so much better - give it a go! (not yet […]

I am amazed at how many people struggle to sleep at night. The exam period can be especially difficult for some to rest and relax with so much pressure on. The trouble is as you grow up the pressure of life does not slow down - so it is essential to learn to deal with […]

I have been thinking a lot about eternity recently.
Do you know that for those of you who are Christians all is well with your soul today? (For those who do not know this is an old hymn click here to hear it.) God has our lives in his eternal hands safe and secure. He […]

I have been thinking how the small things in life are so enjoyable. Today I was drinking hot chocolate on a hill after having a snowball fight. It was great - not expensive, introduced with a huge amount of hype or needing batteries. The simple things are the best like warm bread with melted butter, fresh bed sheets, a warm […]

Though your sins are like scarlet,
   I will make them as white as snow.
Though they are red like crimson,
   I will make them as white as wool.

Have you noticed that nearly everything that God created moves. The earth rotates, the stars orbit, the trees bend towards the light, animals run, bacteria spreads,  the wind and water move and even the mountains will move if we tell them to. God never intended us to stay the same. Movement can be unerving as it brings change. Change […]

 What a fine mess these two have got themselves into!! In a moment of undisciplined high spirits they were foolish and  unsensitive. No-one stopped them, or suggested that it wasn’t perhaps a good idea until it was too late. Then after they had made the mistake everyone got on the band wagon to have their […]

I was thinking about Halloween and how it relates to the post I sent on Tuesday. In essesence it is a day when some people choose to think about things that are not good, beneficial or helpful. Not only do they think about them but they act their thoughts out and dress them up. It is a […]

While you are all on half term I have something you can do. Whilst you are doing all those jobs that you have waited since September to do - like cleaning out the hamster cage, tidying your bedroom and wrapping your Christmas presents - why not go to a web site of a church that […]

As I watched my kids all walk to school in their new blazer this morning I couldn’t believe that it was time to go back to school already. Could it be that my youngest is now part of the youth group and that she is actually going to high school?(although somewhat swamped by her clothes and bags!!) […]

As I was walking the dog this morning I looked up at the stars and moon shining in the clear sky. A thought popped into my head.
God promised Abraham that his decendants would be as many as the stars in the sky and he asks Abraham to count them. Genesis 15:5. The decendants of Abraham […]

God has a tent - and he likes to go camping! I Wonder if it is like the tent that Harry Potter stayed inside with the Weaslies - like a mansion inside.
God said to me, “My grace (My favor and loving-kindness) is enough for you for My strength and power are made perfect  and show themselves most effective […]

‘He will fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with joyful shouting’ Job 8:21
Job is not a happy book. It is about a guy who looses his home, children, wealth, servants, crops and herds. He is left with a miserable wife and less than sympathetic friends. Through the book though there are lovely nuggets […]

I have just come back from the elders and wives weekend in Cardiff. I will have more time to write this week about it all.
Let me leave you with this thought:
GOD wants us to hear what he is saying. He gets excited when he sees us listening and doing what he asks. Every single time […]
