I read of a terrible crime today. I read of a ‘sex-worker’ who has done a terrible thing and will be in prison for a very long time. If found guilty she deserves to be in prison for a very long time. The pain for me is that I know this woman, I have been […]
I have just been at a Baptism service where three churches came together to watch 9 men,women & children of all ages get in a pool as they ‘decide to give their life to Jesus ‘. For me, this is the most special and beautiful thing to see, I’ve had the honour of seeing baptisms […]
Today’s writing is from my sister, I admire her bravery and heart to help anyone who has/is experienced something similar, Bravery and Hope shine through.. I have thought about writing this post for about a year, and it finally felt like the right time. This time last year, after nine months of trying for our […]
I have a son. He is 7months old. His smile feels like a gift. Each time I get one I feel like I have been chosen & his eyes have wanted to bless me by lighting up when he sees me. I feel like the words of Gods beautiful promises have come alive to me […]

But it’s quite unrealistic in our day to day lives to be genuinely aware of our freedom-especially if we have never been […]
I have a nephew, when he was born my Dad decided he was too young to be a ‘granddad’ so somehow the name ‘Poppa D’ appeared. And it has stuck! So Kohl (who is 2yrs & gorgeous) calls him Poppa. Kohl loves our family but when Poppa walks in the room it is something different! […]
To say that today’s service in prison was good, or ‘yes it went well thanks’, feels like it gives God none of the true glory he deserves for what happened today in prison! I am not sure that writing a blog post is giving him full glory either, but at least I have the space […]
