An Old Poem on the paradox of so-called “freedom”

November 14, 2011

When I was younger I used to write poems. I can’t remember the last time that I wrote one. I found this when doing some clearing up yesterday at home. I have to try and tidy the room that has doubled as a family “den” and my study so that we can get my son [...]

Bringing warmth to a fathers heart

October 5, 2010

One of my children came downstairs, after being in their room for ages yesterday, with the following list of verses. They had obviously spent a long time going thru a bible looking at highlighted verses and choosing, as they put it, their “favorite ones”. I think its a pretty good list, actually, and I am [...]

Home Again!

February 19, 2008

We’re home again! The reunion was sweet, although the three of us are rather tired. I worked today, while both Henry and Tamasin spent some time sleeping. Unfortunately, none of us slept a wink on the plane! This was the longest I’ve been away from my dear wife, and the longest I have been in [...]

Wet n’ Wild in Orlando, Florida

February 6, 2008

We learned an invaluable lesson today about vacations in Florida. You really can’t do it all, and you actually don’t want to. Having spent a stimulating and enjoyable day at Universal Studios yesterday, we took someone’s advice and decided to have a day at a waterpark before hitting Islands of Adventure tomorrow. The idea of [...]

At the Airport . . .

February 3, 2008

We’re sitting at Gatwick, having enjoyed what I fear may be our last healthy meal for a couple of weeks! We ate a fruit salad, a chicken, bacon and salad sandwich, and fresh fruit yogurt between us. I may be wrong, but my image of Orlando doesn’t include healthy salads being available. Tamasin is particularly [...]

Arsenal vs Tottenham in My Family

November 16, 2007

People who know me well know that the football genes have skipped a generation. I am, of course, referring to the original game of football as invented by us British and called “soccer” by only one nation on earth (i.e. the USA). To the rest of the world it’s just ‘football’. My father and brother [...]

Photography With a MacBook and iPhoto – Rob Rufus Photos

August 15, 2007

Observant readers of my blog will have noticed that I didn’t post any larger photos of Rob Rufus when I spoke about Together On A Mission and interviewed Rob Rufus. One reason for this was that the snapshots I took while we were together were ruined in my hurry as I had the camera on [...]

World Cup Warnie

June 13, 2006

Dave Routledge posted this picture of me looking remarkably relaxed before the England World Cup game. Whilst some of his comments about the day are ‘filthy lies’ and half-truths (!) he’s right about one thing – my mind was on the sermon, not the game. I thought I would try and understand the attraction of [...]
