And you have the opportunity to get your electronic copy at a DISCOUNT! But more on that at the end of this post :-).

Several years back, I was desperate to express how things had changed in my heart due to the revelation of Christ in me. I struggled to find the words because sometimes words are just words. I so wanted to share with those I held dear, in the hope that they would realise the wonder of it all and discover along with me, that Christ is truly alive, that He’s not just religious jargon, and that regardless of much of the…
I recently took up swimming again. It has been about fifteen years since I last swam laps as a form of recreation for fitness and enjoyment. As I was walking Rocky this morning, I became aware of how different my body feels after less than a week of swimming. Even though I am not toned or fit, my body feels like it has sprung into life after fifteen years of hibernation! As I walked, I could feel muscles all over that…
Where will you look in 2021? Who will you look to? How will you spend your time? Who will you spend it with? Who and what will change and alter you this year? Who and what will give you meaning and purpose? Where will you find your identity? Who and what will transform you? Who and what will consume you? Who and what will you love the most? In 2018 I wrote a post called When The Artist Is Omnipresent….
…For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3) Recently I saw the movie titled “Hidden Figures”. (Picture provided by Google Images). The synopsis as described on google reads; Three female African-American mathematicians provide crucial calculations for NASA’s space race against the Soviets, all while dealing with the racist and sexist assumptions of their white co-workers. It is a truly moving and inspiring account of the achievements that each of these…
How can one have peace when facing cancer? How can one have peace when a loved one is hurting? How can one have peace when alone and isolated? How can one have peace when homeless? How can one have peace when separated from loved ones? How can one have peace when misunderstood? How can one have peace when all seems lost and overwhelming? How can one have peace when all capacity to meet one’s needs is removed? How can one…
This is a wonderful little movie based on true events concerning the history of Scotland and England. So because this is based on historical events, this post is not a spoiler alert and I would thoroughly recommend watching the movie. It is available on Netflix and Youtube. Basically, in the 1200’s Scotland had a large and heavy stone they used in or as a coronation chair for Scotland’s monarchs. There are legends surrounding the origin of the stone but whatever it’s origin, it…
Dear Fellow-Believer, When Jesus says “He is our life, joy, peace, love, compassion, grace, truth, strength……(fill in the blank), do we believe Him? For example, Jesus is the Prince of Peace, right? So if we have Jesus Christ living and dwelling inside of us, do we not have the Prince of Peace living inside of us and therefore have peace dwelling in us? Or do we hear/read the words that Jesus is the Prince of Peace and then because…
When I first published this post, it was related to a video I came across on Facebook. Unfortunately, the video has now been removed so I can no longer share it here. To briefly summarise in order to make sense of the below post (published in 2015), it was a clip of women of all ages, body shapes and with grey hair. They were all talking directly into the camera about learning to embrace their age and learning to let…
