Coming to the end

Coming to the end

This is the last post in a series which I wrote a while ago but didn’t want to post at the time.  I’m not in the same place today that I was then; as a result, I’m tempted to edit the writing to soften or finesse it, but I’ve chosen not to! Though the experience … Continue reading »

That morning, the endless rain mirrored my mood.  In fact, it was … Continue reading »

A very practical gospel

I don’t even know why that should be so; there are so many groups doing so much good work in Jesus’ name.  Yet the CAP mailing with their true stories of debt, depression and desperation … Continue reading »

Experiment updates

I had been meaning to blog for a while about my experiment in learning Colossians.  I just never got round to it really. I suppose it’s because the last few weeks have been fairly intense as I’ve engaged in the Other Experiment.  The one where I try to start believing God’s Word about my drivenness. … Continue reading »

Walking in the November darkness

Even as I blogged this, I didn’t know whether I would post it.  Indeed, I’ve posted it some time after writing it and I’m not now in the place which I describe in the writing that follows.  But I was.  And I have been on many occasions before. It’s not something which I really want … Continue reading »

A bit of news
