This phrase jumped out and hit me over the head the other day. I was reading through Psalm 71, a psalm that really emphasises God’s work throughout the whole of the Psalmist’s life, right through from being a baby in the womb to his old age and grey hairs. It’s a Psalm I often [...]

Well I managed about 48 hours of resistance until I did This. (Edit: the link works now…) Becci Brown is the one to blame or praise. However, it is one of my favourite occupations, paying attention to the fine detail of life. Go on, you know you want to join up too.
Can’t wait.

Ok, Ok, so many updates, so little time. Paul Simon is bringing out a new album. The rumour on the street is that it is Quite Good. And so it should be, coming from the genius that is. He was promoting it on Jools Holland last night. Here’s a preview. Father and [...]

Dear Diary…

Dear diary. Today has been an eventful day. It all started with my car limping down the hill to the nice people at the VW garage so they could make it better. Apparently it thought driving across London twice in a weekend was a step too far. It is poorly sick and needs lots and [...]
Honest chats.

Can’t really believe this website. Entertaining anyway.
Why do I do these things?

No, this isn’t another post about the dark dismalness of life and the existential angst that usually goes with such murmuring. This is about my inability to say no to simple things. This weekend I drove for 14 hours, crossed London in busy traffic twice and went on a conference, all on my weekend off. [...]

The hymn that floats around my head at such times. Especially the last verse. Pure genius. Pure Grace.
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,is laid for your faith in his excellent word!What more can he say than to you he hath said,to you that for refuge to Jesus have fled?
“Fear not, I [...]
Thoughts on the darkness.
Posted in Uncategorized on May 19, 2006 | 2 Comments »
One of my biggest fears in the darkness is that it may mean that God has forsaken me forever, that, like Saul, I have been forsaken by the living God. Which places this quote into the context of beautiful relief when I read it yesterday morning. It’s from Dale Ralph Davies commentary on 1 Samuel [...]
