Yesterday, having arrived early to pick up my boys from school, I opted to get out of the hot stuffy car and sit outside on a grassy bank in front of the school to await the school bell. From my vantage point I watched other parents arriving to collect their children from school. There were the fitness gear ones, the ones… Continue reading Converge

Jesus said “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12) But He also said “You are the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:14) We are to reflect Jesus.

Modus Operandi
I'm no Latin expert, truth be told -,I'm not even a novice. The only Latin I know is that of my University Song and the odd English appearing word here and there. So when "modus operandi" was used in a description of my work, I confess I had to google it to see what it meant! Modus… Continue reading Modus Operandi
