With hindsight we could make this world a better place. Our decision making would become sharper, life would be fuller and we would all be better off with the wisdom generated by hindsight. Life would be great. If only! Many times I have said ‘If only with hindsight’ …. Would it only be wrongs I […]
I have two passions in life (that is apart from my family)—following Jesus and Welsh Rugby. One of these passions brings me unbridled joy and a purpose to life, the other brings me ecstatic joy in the moment and a fair bit of disappointment along the way. I do believe that being a Welsh Rugby […]
I remember seeing a Facebook post a mate of mine had posted recently and it said this: “Jesus leaving the 99 to find 1 seems irrational and senseless – until that 1 is you.” Over this year I have been trying to reflect a little bit about the grace of God and the rescue mission […]
FIVE: Master of YOUR universe We made it, the final blog. Thank you for joining me on this journey, I wanted to finish this series with a simple invite. We started by exploring who Jesus claimed to be, set against his statement that all authority on earth and in heaven was his, ie him being […]
FOUR: Master of the spiritual universe OK, so I said last week that I wanted to separate the supernatural universe from the spiritual one, and this is why. Jesus deals with something called sin, and this is so important that it needed a blog on its own. In this series I have wanted to show […]
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, […]

The videos that gradually emerged of this tsunami were utterly horrifying, the speed and ferocity of the wave brought […]
I grew up watching plenty of cartoons, and the best, by far was He Man, Master of the Universe. I am sure you know exactly who I am on about, but just in case you don’t, He Man was amazing. Muscles on muscles, a beautiful mop of golden hair in a mullet, and a spandex […]
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:30 (NIV) Maybe you have read this verse before and it has been an inspiration to you, I know that’s true for me. I was recently at the men’s group I am part of, and one of the guys, Rick, shared this bible verse […]
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, […]
