Enroute to work there's a dedicated man, rain or shine, always holding a placard promoting or protesting on something political. And always asking you to toot in support. On Friday though, he was joined by another person with a simple placard - "toot if you're happy". As I approached the man in my car, I tooted! I… Continue reading Toot if you’re happy

The Old Rugged Cross – {Lent}
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suff’ring and shame; And I love that old cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain. So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the… Continue reading The Old Rugged Cross – {Lent}
Love is….a shepherd’s pie – {Lent}
It's been a busy week. To be honest, a bit of a tough week. Today though I received a lovely text that a shepherd's pie had been made for my family's dinner tonight. Nothing quite like a hot shepherd's pie with cheese topping to say I am loved. Love is a shepherd's pie After… Continue reading Love is….a shepherd’s pie – {Lent}
There is a green hill far away
There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved, And died our sins to bear; We trust in His redeeming blood, And life eternal share. We may not know, we cannot tell, What pains He… Continue reading There is a green hill far away

Resurrection Sunday is coming. But so is Good Friday. Before there could be an Easter Sunday, there had to be a Good… Continue reading Before – {Lent}
See the teacher
My 5 year old son told me the other day that his teacher wanted to see me. Funny how that statement can invoke negative thoughts. Not sure why, as I was a very good kid at school so I have no bad memories, but I guess "see the teacher" means that somethings up! Anyway with… Continue reading See the teacher

A Sunday Drive
I found myself on Sunday, partaking of a leisure time activity called a "Sunday Drive". Apparently this recreational activity is done by enough people to merit its own Wikipedia page. For me, it was an unintentional decision, that turned out to be a good one. I had decided that a ride in the car was… Continue reading A Sunday Drive
Open Home
I have a confession to make...My neighbours' house is for sale, and curious me, decided to pop over during the open home for a peek. I was spared the embarrassment of telling the real estate agent that I was just a nosy neighbour, by the fact he had spied me exit my front door. Busted… Continue reading Open Home
St Patrick’s Day
Today we celebrated St Patrick's Day at work. Somewhat early. Not sure why we couldn't celebrate it on the actual day. Nonetheless, I dutifully donned my green fascinator and wrote my limerick and enjoyed the festivities of the day. In the midst of the pre St Patrick day celebrations though, I was reminded that the origin… Continue reading St Patrick’s Day
