How God became king – a sprint through the Bible
OK. Let's get this straight, God does not change. But the way God has reveaed himself over time has changed. This is a quick run through, starting with the earliest book of the Bible, Job. Not Genesis. Genesis belongs with the books of Moses, it deals with things before the Exodus, but it is a …

Different ways
On the last day of the Holy Trinity Church weekend we were given a catch phrase, you know one of those short and supposed to be memorable. Like all other so called memorable phrases before I have forgotten it. So here is the long, boring, catch phrase free version. The church is suffering from amnesia. …
Things that make you go Hmm
This blog is about me. And about how I have felt about God in the 9 years since the accident. And about the church weekend. Three subjects that are somehow connected - this blog could be a mess. I have always believed in prayer. The prayer meeting has been my home since I became a …

Looking Forward to Sunday
I can't explain what happened last Sunday. I really can't. Yes it was Pentecost, but the whole thing was so low key, there were no real belt-'em-out hymns chosen, it was like a 1970s or '80s retro worship service. The service introduction did not help. Were we invited to worship God or something we got …

MasterGear
The BBC has announced the new presenter for Top Gear, following the departure under a cloud of controversy of Jeremy Clarkson. Mr Clarkson's replacement is to be MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace. The parallels are obvious. Both programmes had a revamp with a more shoutier presentation style, MsterChef in 2001 and Top Gear in 2002, an both …
