Now I am one for camping. I am happy to sleep in a flimsy tent half way up a mountain. I am familiar with tents of all types. The one-man kind that you could carry in a ‘manbag’ (if I used one) right the way up to the 20 person dormitories that come with a […]
What should our response be when we come under fire spiritually? The Bible is clear, we are simply to ‘Stand Firm’. For many of us the reaction is to retaliate. But the Bible teaches us that retaliation is not what God wants. Jesus who was so tempted did not retaliate, he simply used the word […]
Do you find yourself going round in loops of negative thoughts? You push them away only to find you’re back in the loop when you least expect it. You can’t seem to get rid of it and it leaves you feeling down and anxious with no real desire to talk with God. What’s going on? […]

I was born in 1940, by 1955 I was in a skiffle group playing the tea chest! Then along came the ‘Boomers’, those born 1944-64.
