    Happy St. Crispins day!

    Today is St. Crispins day. Maybe a good day to remember the war we are in and the cost to fight it. St. Crispin was a humble evangelist who worked as a shoemaker during the day and preached the gospel during the evenings. Together with his brother he evangelised the [[Gauls]] before meeting a very…

    Random acts of kindness

    Sometimes I grow a tad cynical and weary of the selfishness of the world. It seems like the only law that governs our reality is [[Murphys law]], it certanly felt that way when I was standing at the Dallas Fort Worth airport and they told me that I was not allowed to check in three…

    I was watching the latest episode of Battlestar galactica, and a very short conversation between Adama and Sharon (actually there was several good conversations between the two) struck me.

    Spiritual Vagabonds

    A growing group in our society are the spiritual vagabonds, restless souls wandering from fellowship to fellowship and never settling down. Either on the constant lookout for the perfect church or treating organized Christianity like a smorgasboard where you pick and choose the bits you like and move on to the next dish. This begs…

    Autumnal ramblings….

    It was soooo hard to get up today and pray, it was like the world was swimming in a thick mist. When the alarm went off at six o’clock it just wasn’t right, the darkness clung tightly to all the windows and there was a chill in the air. Prayers was awkward and I rambled…
