We don’t like rules very much, we tend to think of them as restrictions and people trying to run our lives. We had enough of that at school – (perhaps not so much the modern school – I went to school in the sixties and there were a lot of rules and sanctions) – andContinue reading “Never have we had so much freedom yet so much unhappiness”

Our relationship with God is very important. How do we see Him? He is the Creator. We are told that he created all that is seen and unseen and what an incredible creation!
