As time goes by so many ideas and beliefs are changing in our society. The ebb and flow of what is right and what is wrong pushes against traditions and changes them, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. I will leave you to come to your own conclusions about what you feelContinue reading “New and Old Wineskins”

A serious topic to deal with, but one that has been on my mind since hearing of the death of HRH Prince Philip here in the UK. We never really can wholly understand death and it is particularly devastating when it happens to someone who is young and hasn’t managed to live their lives andContinue reading “How do we deal with death”

Some of the biggest questions we can have is why can’t we be happy all of the time, why do awful things happen and when God placed us on this earth, surely we were meant to live here happily and peacefully? God’s plan to place us here on this beautiful planet was thwarted by ourContinue reading “Struggling”

I’ve just had a lovely walk with my dog in the sunshine here in the South Downs in England. When it is sunny there is nowhere I would rather be as it is home and I have made it so for the past 25 years. The birds are singing and I sunbathe on the benchesContinue reading “Stereotyping”

During one of our prayer groups I remember saying that one of the best things about Heaven will be that we can drop our guard and be the people we are. We can take off this false front and become deeply real and open with each other. All of the damage that has happened toContinue reading “Who are we deep down?”

I have a degree in Law and in Theology and I was on a training course to become a teacher at secondary school level, the subject being religious studies. We all had to present and lead a seminar.

Being able to forgive is very healing. People can and do hurt you as you go through life and that hurt can stay with you for a long time. It isn’t healthy to hang onto bad feelings and unforgiveness; it can be like an illness creeping through you until it changes you and can destroyContinue reading “Forgiving others”

When you start to believe in God, to have taken that leap in faith, do work out what kind of God you believe in. We know from the Bible that he is trinitarian, but one God and we know aspects of his character from how he has dealt with us, his creatures, from the beginning.Continue reading “What is my God like?”

We all have phases in our life when we feel that things aren’t right: we’ve made wrong choices and this has led to us being in a place where we are unhappy and are unfulfilled. It is so easy to take a wrong turn and believe that life is never going to get better thanContinue reading “Fear and Disillusionment”

As I was walking my dog this morning, I began to think about the meaning of friendship. In this modern era, this idea of friendship seems to have changed dramatically. Some of this is due to social media, but also some due to a constant moving between homes, areas and jobs. I’m not good atContinue reading “Friendship”
