Did you enjoy the Coronation weekend? The people I’ve spoken to, have had mixed reactions. As for me, I’ve never before appreciated the pageantry of state occasions. But this time was different.
I wanted to share why I found it exciting. I bet you’re sick of debates about the value of the monarchy. So, I wrote a short story instead, with my comments at the end. Hope you like it!

The Confessions of Secret Santa
Our grandson Sam is rapidly growing up! Reading has given him a new independence and a confidence. But it’s been wonderful to see him taking pleasure in giving, as well as receiving, gifts this Christmas.
Surely you can’t be serious?
Some of the testimonies we heard at New Wine were so extraordinary, they’re too good not to share. Surely God doesn’t speak to people nowadays?? Or DOES he? And if so, what impact does it have on their lives?
Out of the Ditch
I’ve more to share from New Wine, but meanwhile I thought you might enjoy an old-fashioned John Hearson mishap-and-embarrassment story. I often look back affectionately to those cringe-worthy days when I was a 19-year-old student. God provided an army of very kind people to look after me!

I believe it’s part of God’s story, which is why I hope you’ll enjoy it.
Miracles in the Midst of War

On the Chemin – Back to the Future?
Whether it’s a walking holiday or a pilgrimage, the Chemin de St Jacques provides lots of time to reflect. As a weary traveller, I found myself being drawn back nearly 50 years to a special time of my life. But I’m looking back in order to move forward!
Journey to Bottom C
Here’s how I became a viola player. I ‘fess up’ to my shortcomings in our orchestra but explain how this proved just what was needed when we moved churches.
The Thrill of the Ride
YOU’VE GOT TO READ THIS BOOK – IT’S SO INSPIRING “What an extraordinary couple!” I thought.

Confessions of a Conveyancing Solicitor
Do red tape and heartlessness make your blood boil? I don’t normally ‘do’ cynicism. But last year I became so furious at something that happened, that I have to spill it out.
