Throwback Thursday: The Rage
27th July 2022
Stardust
Tuesday 11th July, 2023 I’m no scientist but I find the concept that our bodies are made up of stardust really fascinating. From what little I understand, the matter that makes up our universe, including us, was all formed billions and billions of years ago by distant stars going supernova. Moreover, the matter within our …
Change the World
Monday 3rd July, 2023 I love the story of the Starfish, you might have heard it:Early one morning an old man was walking along a beach when he saw thousands of starfish lying on the sand, and a boy, picking them up, one by one and throwing them into the ocean.“What are you doing?” asked …
A Miracle
Friday 30th June, 2023 I’m pretty sure someone needs to hear this today, maybe it’s you, maybe it’s one of your friends. You are a miracle.

Throwback Thursday: Teach her to shout
26th June 2022. Sitting on a wall, looking out to sea, headphones on. In a world of her own. Or at least trying to be. She looked about 15 or so and the boy, balancing on the wall, clearly getting on her nerves looked a couple of years younger. I assumed he was her annoying …

Do I really have to submit to my spouse?
Monday 22nd May, 2023 If you’re a Christian and you’re following the example of Jesus then yes, yes you do. Moreover you should want to.

Is self-care selfish?
Wednesday 17th May, 2023 In a Christian Post article earlier this year, Tim Keller argued that “Todays therapeutic age focuses on self-interest” he said that the therapeutic model is “all about trying to get your mind off of the past….we’re not trying to reconcile with anybody, and we’re not drawing on God.

Wellbeing Wednesday. Spinning Plates
Being a mum of twins people often remark that I must have a lot on my plate, and I guess I do. When I think of plates having a lot on them I’m fondly reminded of my ex-mother-in-law who, determined to keep her family healthy, would try to manage portion sizes by serving dinner on …
