I was asked recently, “Do you believe in heaven?” As you walk through the airport terminal signs, images, smells and crowds of people carrying their luggage bombard the senses. It can take time to find your way to a seat by the departure gate, after all this is your main goal prior to actually boarding […]
A few years ago I heard the Mosaic LA church leader, Erwin McManus, say “…we teach what we know, we reproduce what we are!”. Throughout my life I have seen, over and over again, just how true this statement is. When any of us live life full-on for God and let His Word shape our […]

Christmas is here! I have to confess, I have been enjoying the build up to this day for over a month, and I was often found with Wham playing from my car. ‘Last Christmas, I gave you my heart…’ Anyway, firstly let me say Happy Christmas to you. Secondly, lets read this together; The Word […]
On a dark clear night, staring at the milky-way, it is staggering to think of the awesome place we call space.

As I write there are many news items about hurricanes approaching the Caribbean and East coast of America. This made me wonder, is this news? Every year there are hurricanes that charge across the Atlantic hitting the Caribbean and East coast of the USA, we know and have known about these natural phenomena for ever […]
Putting your foot in it… guilty. Deliberately putting your foot in it… really guilty. How many times has the guilty verdict been announced by me to me, often! There are some broken eggs I can talk about. In fact some are in the public domain, shared with family and friends. As I reflect on this […]
When I was just a boy growing up the Welsh Valleys, me and my mates always loved going out onto the Graig behind our houses. For those of you who have no idea what ‘the graig’ means, it was a piece of common land that went from my village of Aberbargoed across to the next […]
“Who do you say I am?” When I’m describing someone, age, height, and colour come to mind then I move onto characteristics, nice smile, sense of humour, shy etc. Sometimes when I have had someone described to me I’m misled when I eventually meet the person, they don’t fit the description, forcing me to make […]
