So this year I wanted to focus on something that would challenge me and keep me moving forward in my faith. I was thinking about what that could be, and on one day found myself between meetings so I went to the V&A museum. I came across a couple of sculptures, initially I just spent some […]
To celebrate my wife’s ‘significant’ birthday I decided to book us a short break in Iceland (not the one endorsed by Peter Andre). This was a desolate stony expanse of God’s world, haunted by howling winds, bubbling geysers and fiery eruptions – I sure know how to treat a lady! Catherine had always wanted to […]
I absolutely love wildlife programs; I could literally watch them all day. I am constantly amazed at the wonder of God’s creation; I marvel at the new discoveries made and how perfectly in balance nature is. It is no wonder I join with the Psalmist in saying “Let them praise the name of the LORD, […]
My son Micah is 5, he came home from school on Friday saying that the teacher had asked him if he could ride a bike, to which he said “no, not really.” This bothered him, he came home and asked me straight away to get his BMX out so I could teach him again. (I […]
This Year I have not heard much, if any talk about people making New Year resolutions. I made one, No Fear. I sat the other day on a rock as my children jumped from rock to rock in the Peak District, running like mad literally, letting off a load of steam. My Son jumped about […]
In the UK we can see an epidemic of male mental illness and suicide sweeping across our country. 76% of suicides in 2014 were men, which works out to be around 12 men a day. There are many reasons and forces that can be at work here, but I think a simple one can really […]
So recently I was in a nice restaurant and needed the rest room to do the male version of powder my nose. Check the moustache and beard for any out of place hairs and review the overall shape and density of the beard. (It’s a joke! Not all men have beards, some just have moustaches!) […]
I would consider myself to be a good driver. I have never taken an advanced test but I am confident I am probably at that level, are you with me on this? (Just a joke, but I am a good driver) When I passed my driving test (2nd time trying…) me and a mate would […]
So I was chatting to a mate of mine recently who is a police officer. As part of his job he has to ‘brush up’ on his PSU (Police Support Unit) training once in a while and it just happened to be this month. If I am honest, PSU training is the type of thing […]
In the job I now have at CVM it is difficult to hide the fact that I am a Christian, it’s sort of obvious as just about all we do is about introducing 1,000,000 men to Jesus Christ. Even before that I was pastoring a church and before that a Chaplain for a drug rehabilitation […]
