In 1 Samuel Ch 17, we read about the story of David and Goliath. What struck me as we read it in church yesterday was ‘Why did David take 5 pebbles from the stream?’
I guess in my mind I always figured that David was so sure things would turn out the way they eventually did […]
The following text is taken from a comment on a post on the Alex’s ‘Into the Mystic‘ vox - it is by Mel. It totally describes where I am at and what I want to pursue from this moment on. Here it is:
“I feel “burned outâ€? and sick of “a Christianity that offered pat but […]
I really dislike when people do things simply to try and look good in front of others. Or don’t do the right thing because they worry about what other people say. I am guilty of it and always have to watch my motives. Even when writing my blog, I have to make sure that I […]
Ok, just a quick post to say that since my last ’super hero’ post only 60 minutes ago, the hero theme has been raised from 2 other unrelated sources.

Research shows that unborn babies do indeed dream, based on REM (Rapid Eye Movement) analysis. We were wondering what these dreams were like because […]
Shona is my wife. Well, she is more than just my wife.
She is my friend. Well, she is more than just my friend.
She is my lover; she is my soul mate; she is my everything.
Shona and I are both 30 this year. We have known each other for more than half our lives already, […]
If you see a scruffy, skinny wee lad, speaking with a ‘Norn Iron’ accent, with a big grin, full of energy and mischief, living his life always in the presence of God, be nice and kind to him. It is most likely my mate Andy who has moved to LA for a couple of years […]
In my younger days, I used to be a big Garth fan - shame!
Last night I listened to some of his albums, and it all came back to me! Garth may not be everyone’s ideal role model, but some of the lyrics of his songs are pretty inspirational.
