A Delightful Inheritance

Image
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;   surely I have a delightful inheritance (Psalm 16:6 NIV) I was blessed before I was born. Through God's grace I was born into a godly family with a godly heritage on both sides of my lineage.  My paternal grandmother knew and served the Lord, growing up within the Salvation Army. There she met and married my paternal grandfather who hailed from a non-Christian background but had a life transforming encounter with the Risen Christ, serving his Saviour within the ranks of the Salvation Army until the day he died. My maternal grandparents both came from Salvation Army stock. Both served as Salvation Army officers (a story, perhaps for another time). My family (including my parents) are my inspiration. Today has been a bit of a pottering day and involved working through boxes stored in the garage as we prepare to move in July to our new appointment. I came across these photographs. Two are of my mum's dad - J...

Letter to a Grandson

I was called to follow Jesus as a Salvation Army Officer in 1990. In May 1991 - four days after my 22nd birthday - and exactly twenty years ago - my Nana Smith typed out a letter to me (she later told me that it had taken ages as she could only type with one finger).

I have returned to this letter from time to time. I came back to it this afternoon; initially because of clearing boxes in preparation for moving. But I then spent time to re-visit it and receive again such godly wisdom. I reproduce the letter in f...

A Miserable Little Compromise?

Time to dip my toe - finally- in the murky waters of tomorrow's Referendum. My Twitter friend, Nick, has provided very good reasons why those of us who can, should participate in the Referendum - irrespective of how we vote. You can read what he has written (including thoughts as to the criteria we should use when considering where we put our cross) at http://www.nickssanctuary.com/ . I will not reinvent a wheel that has already been so well designed! However, I will now nail my colours to the mast. Tomorrow, I will vote no. Now, before you lump me with the "dinasours" of the No to AV campaign, let me explain why.... I was first captivated by politics as an 18 year old by the then vibrant Social Democratic Party. I campaigned for them in 1987 - a bad year for the Liberal/SDP Alliance. I voted for the ensuing merger of the two parties, became a founder member of the new Social and Liberal Democrats and even went to the first party conference in Blackpool as a deleg...
