Basking in an Eternal Hope
How much does eternity have an impact on your life now? On my life now? Right now, I’m lifted by the joy of having spent a few days at the Keswick Convention (which is a Christian conference in the Lake District), serving there and also getting to enjoy bits and pieces of the Convention! TheContinue reading “Basking in an Eternal Hope”
Let’s Not Waste This Covid Space
Can you actually believe how fast time is passing? I had a strange flashback a few weeks ago. My bubble family and I were celebrating Thanksgiving, as we do every year. We were there in my friend’s kitchen, preparing the food, as we do every year. And I had a sudden flashback to last Thanksgiving.Continue reading “Let’s Not Waste This Covid Space”
On Getting Distracted By Little Things
Do you ever catch what you are thinking about, and realise you’ve just spent a big chunk of time fretting about something little? Something that just doesn’t matter very much?

Why Right Now Matters
Do you ever catch yourself wondering where the time has gone? One of my friends got my thinking recently… about time. About how fast time goes. About how you can’t get it back.

It started with a conversation I had recently,about where the world is heading. About how thingsContinue reading “Are you wondering where the world is headed?”
What if there was something astoundingly, mind-blowing good in your future… forever?
Over the last few days, I’ve been thinking a bit about my eternal Hope. My friend Angie has been encouraging me for a while to read the book ‘Heaven’, by Randy Alcorn, and I’ve been dipping into it. And it’s been speaking deeply to my heart. Alcorn, Dr R. (2004). Heaven. ed. Illinois: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. Knowing youContinue reading “What if there was something astoundingly, mind-blowing good in your future… forever?”
Thoughts from my tent..
I just got back from another week of camping. These are thoughts I wrote while I was there… So I’m back in a tent for another week of worshipping Jesus with many others and sharing about what He is doing across the seas in Asia. And, again, it has made me think. There is somethingContinue reading “Thoughts from my tent..”
Who will tell them?
I don’t even know when I first came to know Jesus as my Saviour. I was tiny, I know. I was taken to Sunday School from the age of two, and there I learned that Jesus died in my place so that I can be forgiven, and that He wanted to come into my lifeContinue reading “Who will tell them?”
