Simon Says

The occasional ramblings of a man arrested by the outrageous grace of God in Jesus Christ and now learning to dance. "If I was to drop dead now my last words to you would be: What a ride! You cling to Jesus, you give your life to him. It will be wild, it will be unpredictable, it will be dangerous. But, man, will you know how to dance" (Mike Yaconelli)

A Miserable Little Compromise?

May 04, 2011

I campaigned for them in 1987 - a bad year for the Liberal/SDP Alliance.

A Delightful Inheritance

May 28, 2011

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 - Jack -
