Wagatha Christie

Wagatha Christie

Forget Netflix, the real drama right now is “Wagatha Christie”! No doubt you have been riveted to the daily commentary of the feuding footballers’ wives in the High Court this week. Or perhaps you have a life to lead! Apparently, the row comes off the back of the...

Being Peacemakers

I wonder if you have ever had the experience of having seen something, you start to see it everywhere?. I suspect most, if not all of us have had that experience. Everywhere My dad previously needed a car with a boot big enough to take my mum’s mobility scooter. With...

Let it go, let it go…

There is no doubt, the kingdom of God is topsy-turvy. God’s values continually flip ours on their head. At core, God is a giver: he did not clasp his fingers tightly upon his privilege and power but gave himself, fully, freely and sacrificially for us. And, here’s the...

Rejoicing & Weeping, Growing and Shrinking.

In Lewis Carroll’s rather bizarre tale of Alice and her adventures in wonderland, the young Alice on several occasions either eats or drinks something which causes her to grow or to shrink. I wonder if over the past couple of years our view of the world has grown or...
