Will I ever learn to be as gracious?
Jesus did not die on the cross. Discuss.
I could hear it now; those smug agnostics and atheists saying ‘I told you so’… more so if the Red Tops get hold of the story.
Alcohol is a funny thing…
Alcohol is a funny thing. It’s like an annoying friend. You know the type; you get on hilariously with them and have had some rib achingly good times together. But there’s that selfish streak about them that you’re not keen on. They always have to have their pennies worth, sometimes to the detriment of you. … Continue reading Alcohol is a funny thing…
Liar, Liar…
My boss was reduced to tears today because she got caught lying by her (on and off again) boyfriend. He’s dumped her. My mum always used to say a phrase if she ever suspected me of lying, “what a tangled web we weave when first we set out to deceive!” Come to think of it, … Continue reading Liar, Liar…
“The heart is deceitful above all things…” Jeremiah 17:9 (NIV)
It's almost two months since our wedding, and after the chaos of organising, booking and a depleted bank account, you'd think we'd settle back into a life more ordinary. Not so: one particular aspect which seems to be the arch nemesis of my perfect Christian Life just won't crawl under a bench and go away - Alcohol.
Carrots, Eggs and Coffee
Luke 12:22 - Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]? 26Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
Love Thy Neighbour
With Christmas over I'm thinking of the people i should have contacted, but have not over the festive period. Guiltily, those few are probably most in need of a friendly phone call; and I've purposely not called as i know the conversation will be stilted and leaning towards them venting their unlucky lot in life. … Continue reading Love Thy Neighbour
Finding my Passion
All Souls has been talking up 'a Passion for Life' - the Nationwide initiative starting in March next year that's set to draw churches together for a series of evangelical events. I'm looking forward to it. It reminds me of Billy Graham, back in the 90s, the reason that my family started going to North … Continue reading Finding my Passion
Roald Dahl
And so, one of the hardest and full on weeks started on Monday with me travelling to Great Missenden, the home of Roald Dahl. Twentieth Century Fox organised a press junket for Domestic and Brit press ahead of the World Premier of Fantastic Mr Fox, at BFI London Film Festival yesterday. It was a beautiful … Continue reading Roald Dahl
Why Can’t I Pray?
So..Fellowship Groups started again this Tuesday for the Autumn/Winter season. We're reading 1 Samuel - and so far so good! I'm trying to understand Hannah, and what sort of belief/faith it takes for you to continuously ask God for something for half your life, and still love God - even when you don't receive. And … Continue reading Why Can’t I Pray?
