An Anchor in the Storm

Not a believer? Perhaps give this post a miss? Hold on! Might you be missing out on life’s best open secret?
We’ve been studying Hebrews in our Home Group at church. It’s not easy to understand. But it’s richly rewarding. And it’s got lots to say to us in our bizarre 21st century world. Especially in tough times.

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.

Neighbours from Hell?

Do you have neighbour problems? I’m struck by how many people do, and I know how unsettling it can be when you don’t feel at peace in your own home.
So, I chose this as the backdrop for a booklet that I’ve just had published. Meet Harry, who believes he has a neighbour from hell. He’s in for a surprise or two!

Who’d be a Grandpa? – A bit of chemistry

Grandchildren can be such fun! They may be tiring to entertain, but it’s so worthwhile. As you help them understand the world, they draw you into a different way of seeing it yourself. And oh! how you have to laugh at yourself!

A Letter to Her Majesty, September 2022

I don’t get overly emotional at hearing news items. But yesterday I burst into tears. Our beloved Queen has passed on. I wish she knew how much I appreciated her!

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!
