THREE: Master of the supernatural universe I want to reflect a bit in this blog about how Jesus was master of the supernatural universe. I will deal specifically with the ‘spiritual’ universe in the next blog, (ie sin), so this is about the supernatural. I grew up in the UK and to be totally honest, […]
TWO: Master of the natural universe I remember watching the news in 2004 after a 9.1 magnitude earthquake rocked the earth resulting in a massive tsunami that killed more than 230,000 people in fourteen different countries.

I am not sure what a blog is but I am guessing it is a bit like a dit in the Royal Navy. So I will start this dit with a bit of history about me for those that do not know me. I am now 64 and retired from the RN nearly 10 years […]
Everything was going well for Neil until he started having panic attacks. He walked in darkness for so many years, suffering with deep depression. He continued to suffer a lot of panic attacks, which he couldn’t understand. He tried all the conventional methods of man-made treatments and self help methods, but then he stumbled upon the Alpha Course and encountered Jesus and the Holy Spirit, […]
I want to focus o two things: firstly my own personal experience of poor mental health, and secondly I want to reflect upon our role as “resurrection people” in amongst the challenges that mental illnesses bring into the lives of people. A few years ago I performed the funeral of a man in his 50s […]
At the start of the year I was sat at home, with a glass or red wine watching ‘The Voice’ with my wife and family. Just a normal Saturday evening at home and then it started. A pain in my chest, in my back, down my arms, up into my neck and head and even in […]
