Not everyone is the organised type. You know the type. Those who have schedules, timetables, plans and charts that more or less shape their lives from the time they wake out of their slumber at the precise time they scheduled to the timed moment at which they will go to sleep. You call them up […]
Read More That Must Be Really Important To YouGod has placed people and episodes in life to show that we are in need of Him. Stubborn resistance to it, dismissive reproach of it and feigning ignorance and apathy to it makes it no less the case that these incidents and individuals are there and have been there. They are there to help us […]
Read More In Need Of YouHe just seemed to drop off the scene. We first saw him with that choir. He wasn’t the lead singer, or anything, but he always looked like he gave it his all. Others seemed to just be singing the words, but he appeared to mean every word that came out of his mouth. Then later […]
Read More He Went Missing: What Happened?It’s the only way things will work out well. I have a lot of time and admiration for those on the shop floor. For the front of house operators. For those who work to make their specific part of the puzzle work as it should. I salute them and acknowledge their efforts and their essential […]
Read More Bringing It All TogetherWhen my daughter said, “first world problems” that stopped me in my tracks. My mobile device needed charging – I needed it to be charged, because I didn’t want it to be in a position where I would require usage of the phone and the battery would be dead. That’s what I needed, only to […]
Read More Pray: For the Lowly, For The GoodI took a walk with the man of peace. I love being with men of peace. Not every man I meet is a man of peace. There are quite a few men who are endeavouring to be men of peace, but are still in the process. There are quite a lot of men who have […]
Read More The Place Of Pottery Needs A RevampI don’t mind reminiscing at all. It has its benefits. If moving to Stoke-on-Trent twenty years ago was a significant deal for me as a single man, leaving Stoke-on-Trent ten years ago with two very young children and a third child on the way was just as much of a big deal. In fact leaving […]
Read More Working With Good People“I love you all.” I hear that from time to time. Thankfully not from me, but when I hear it, I always have a quizzical look on my face. Especially when the ‘all’ in question involve people they could not possibly know. That sentiment appears so cheap and meaningless. It’s a waste of precious words. […]
Read More It’s The Presence of Key PeopleMy wife is an amazing woman. One of the many things that attracted me to her was what I saw in her. I mean in her. As a character, as a human being of worth, as a masterpiece of God’s creation I was fascinated in her. Sure there’s the physical aesthetics that are obviously very […]
Read More The More You Know, The More There Is To Know“That’s not how the story goes, Daddy. Tell them what happened. Tell them the story for real, Daddy.” It was one of those occasions where I couldn’t quite muster up the energy to go through the situation as I had done on umpteen occasions previously. I had delivered a half-hearted and somewhat pathetic recounting of […]
