Over the last few day’s in my posts I’ve talked about friendships, the lack of them, the one true friend that is Jesus, but have I convinced you yet? Jesus’ unquestioning love and support for us can never be surpassed by anyone. Not only that, but Jesus can be so much more for us than [...]

Do you have someone you consider to be your “best friend”? I’m sure we’ve all at some stage in our lives, had someone we’ve considered to our closest or best friend. Let me ask you this, what made you consider that person to be your “best friend”, to be a better friend than any other? [...]
I think I’ve mentioned before that Twila Paris is one of my favourite Christian singer/songwriters. We’ll today I’d like to share with you a very simple but beautiful prayer by Twila Paris entitled Bedtime Prayer.

I was at the hairdressers yesterday, and as usual in between the different stages of getting my hair done, I had to wait for a wee while before it was time for the next stage to begin. This got me thinking about all the times in our life we spend waiting around for one thing or another [...]
Yet again I find myself being upset by lack of friendship/care from people I thought were friends. I’m beginning to think it must be me that make people turn their back on me, and that just upsets me more. Am I expecting too much? If you’ve not been well for a while and haven’t seen someone [...]
Would you say you are a positive person? Or do you tend to focus on the negative things in life? I’m sure you’d agree with me that it is easier to be in the company of someone who is positive and upbeat than to be in the company of someone who has nothing positive to say. It’s depressing and [...]
It’s Difficult

Life can be hard to cope with at times, particularly when we have a number of difficult or stressful situations to deal with at the same time. As some of you will be aware there are several members of my family that we have real concern about at the moment on top of my own continued [...]
Last week I was off work after having started to feel unwell the previous Friday while I was in the office. I have since been told that no-one was not aware I wasn’t feeling very well that Friday because I was joining in the conversations and laughing with everyone as I normally do. Funny how wrong [...]
