The Christ Child

Who was he? Who is he? What did he come to do? What was so different about this child? Questions, questions, questions. Sometimes we don't ask enough of them especially concerning this child who was no ordinary child. He had a unique beginning…

Hope

,
"Hope deferred makes the heart sick" - so says the Bible and of course it is true and many of us have heart disease and other illnesses because of it. However, there is a hope that we can have that provides an anchor for our soul. I read today…

Listening?

,
I'm probably one of the worst listeners in the world. I butt in to conversations and I get very opinionated and want to barge in and say my bit. God has a different way of operating which I have yet to learn and that is to listen more than I…

“Choices, choices, choices!”

Choices, choices, choices - we have so many to make on a daily basis yet there are some choices that have huge consequences. We as a nation have chosen to leave the European Union which has large implications for the future. More choices are…

Dreams

,
"Dream, dream, dream, dream. Dream, dream, dream, dream." So says the famous Everly Brothers song 'All I have to Do is Dream' - do you remember that far back? Apparently, we all dream every night (or day if on shift work) - it's the wonderful…

Romans 8:28
