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 […]
Since I first committed my life to following Jesus Christ, the one thing I have found most difficult to do is PRAY! Particularly in the early days it just felt like I was doing nothing when I should have been doing something. I can remember the frustration of asking people, much more mature in their […]
I wanted to reflect a bit about the UFC, Ultimate Fighting Championships. Now, this may be a divisive subject, I get that, because for lots of men out there the idea of watching guys fight like this just isn’t something they care to see. Some men on the other hand will appreciate the UFC for […]

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 […]
