There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus. These words words, spoken by Blaise Pascal 350 years ago, are becoming truer in my experience as time goes on What I always find true …

I am married with one wife, three grown kids, one cat and no hair.
Satisfaction.
This was read in church this morning: I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be …
How to recognise a grey wolf

Old freinds
I'm jealous of Pete. (He's the one in the first picture with his back turned.) In the pub this week he was the only man who still had his hair. The force may not be strong with us, but male patent baldness certainly is. The people were all people who went to Calvary Coffee Bar, a …

Deputy speaker of the House of Lords, Lord Sewel, has been caught on camera taking drugs with prostitutes. He was. seen rolling a five pound note up to snort cocaine. How Parliamentary standards are slipping. Only a fiver? With his earnings it should be a minimum of a £20 note.

Yet there have been fiction masquerading as fact going for a long time. Take the sermon illustration of …
Breaking Bad
Breaking Bad - (Contains Spoilers) I have got my life back. After watching the entire five seasons in three months, I now understand what all the fuss was about. That was a really good TV series. The story is about a schoolteacher who is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Unable to pay for expensive treatment he …
Hanging on the telephone
In my job I hear a lot of voicemail messages. These range from the personalised, "You have reached Dan, leave a message," to the bizarre such as the voice of a Clint Eastwood impersonator saying, "Leave a message, punk, make my day." It is the non personalised messages that are fascinating. Although they are the …
the Bible
The Bible, What is it? Its a book of God and a book about God. But it is also a book about people, about peoples relationship with God, God's relationship with people and people's relationship with people. It is about God relating with individuals, with groups of people and nations. And it is about people …
