I was always a fan of romance, when I was seven I demanded my “boyfriend” rescue me from the top of a hill I had run up- shouting “save me Colin, I’m a damsel in distress.” When I was seventeen I was thrilled to have a boyfriend who was a musician, because he could serenade …
Sunday 3rd March, 2024 Jesus gave us a foolproof, timeless way to discern right from wrong. Instead of simply following a list of rules with no room for hard cases or shades of grey, that could never be completely fully comprehensive for all people at all times, Jesus taught us to be able to work …
Wednesday 7th February 2024 “Becky’s boy Levi, is getting married!”, Miriam called from the kitchen. Joshua was in the dining room setting the table before his brothers arrived and the chaos of Friday Night dinner ensued.

Saturday 30th December, 2023 Yesterday I suggested that The Church (universal) needs to stop evangelising and moralising and preaching and get back to basics, figure out what it believes love to be and teach that, teach it loudly and widely and most importantly live it out, until there is not a Christian in the world …
Friday 29th December, 2023 Homophobia within the church doesn’t take a break for Christmas I notice.

Monday 5th June, 2023 “so God created humankind in his own image. In his image he created them. Male and female he created them” Genesis 1:27 So important is the message that we are made in God’s image that it’s repeated twice and then emphasised that it means all of us (male and female)God is …
Friday 2nd June, 2023 If the message of the bible could be summarised in one word that word would be love. God’s love for us, and God’s desire for us to be in loving harmonious relationship with both God and one another is woven throughout the entirety of the bible: From Genesis that tells us …
Tuesday 30th May, 2023 I’m not scientist, but one of the few things I remember from high school physics is the law of the conservation of energy. Science tells us that energy cannot be destroyed, it can only be transferred or converted from one form of energy to another. In this blog post I suggested …
Friday 26th May, 2023 The last few descriptions of love all go together really, love bears, believes, hopes and endures. We are presented with a picture of love not as one that puts up with abuse, as many of us may have been taught to believe, but as one wholly committed to ‘pulling together’ in …
