I have some very happy times being a chaplain to my old hospital ward and visiting it most weeks and becoming good friends with Leukaemia sufferers.   I’m even more happy when they pull through the treatment and transplants and carry on enjoying life.   But sadly this is not always the case, some don’t.   A while ago I met and became friends with a lovely young guy but as time and treatment progressed it became very clear that the treatment was not working for him although of course on every visit, I prayed for him and hoped for a miracle.   A couple of weeks ago he told…

You seemed to like the little deal I did a while ago where if you order any CD from our online shop (download or actual CD) I will send you another one that I think you may like FREE. Let’s do it again from now until Christmas…my little gift to you.

Although I will still be touring with ‘A sting in the Tale’ (which is the fun life story / song story evening) I also want to make another intimate / laid back evening available during 2017 which will again really be aimed at adults (as it is a sit and listen event not a Praise Party) and be the same financial arrangements to keep the costs down for local Churches.   Ishmael’s GLORIE DAY’S An entertaining evening of reliving the stories and reviving the songs of Ish’s Glorie Company years.

Off to Quedgeley community centre near Stroud today to take part in an All Hallows party for children.   Whilst I will be playing a lot of fun Christian songs the organiser has arranged games, eats, and will be sharing the story of Lazarus…which seems highly appropriate today!   Should be a lot of fun bringing bright light to these children, whilst others elsewhere will be involved in the darker side of this day!
