Before I take a Sunday service I usually meet up with the local Church to pray and often someone prays ‘and Lord if you want to do something different we are ready to change things to fit in with Your plan.’ Although I say ‘amen’ I am secretly praying ‘Lord please don’t change anything, it took me ages to prepare this sermon (with your help) and the order of service and all the songs are loaded into the Churches computer and it will really confuse the tech guy if I suddenly make a lot of changes.’ Yesterday morning in Bradford, I knew that very few children attended the Church so…

Great fun last night. Was invited to speak at a home group which is part of a local vineyard church on how we celebrate Advent at the Cathedral. Only when I arrived did I realise it was a ladies only group! Lovely ladies though who seemed to appreciate me waffling on for an hour! By the way, did I mention that I am looking to do a concert in between Birmingham and Lancashire on Thursday 11th October? ? I think I might have mentioned it once or twice but I bet I never mentioned that seeing it is such short notice that I will be happy to do it for…

Just arrived back from my Hillingdon Baptist weekend and wow, what a weekend it was! The praise party and sting in the tale concert were very enjoyable and well attended and this mornings all age service was packed! Reg the minister (who I have known for many years at Spring Harvest) and the whole congregation were so welcoming and friendly…They made me feel at home as soon as I arrived! But I have to say what stands out in my mind was last nights sting in the tale concert. Those that have seen it know it’s very adult with a lot of chat (my testimony) and comparatively only a few…

Today Irene and I are celebrating 46 years of love and marriage. In the sad and difficult times we have always been together to love and support each other. In the happy and fantastic times (which way outnumber the latter I’m glad to say) we have always been together to love, laugh and celebrate with each other. The Lord was with us when He brought us together 46 years ago. The Lord has been very much with us over the past 46 years. And the Lord will continue to be with us until (eventually) we both go and be with Him…maybe in another 46 years time? 🙂 Today we celebrate…
