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

A Worthy Walk, A Worthy Life
"I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received." —Ephesians 4:1 We are called to live a worthy life. A life that is worthy of the Lord, worthy of the call and worthy of the Gospel. But what exactly does that entail? And is it achievable? Living the worthy life… Continue reading A Worthy Walk, A Worthy Life
The Best of Times
They say that Mothers of little boys are busy from son up to son down. As a mum to 3 boys, I'd have to say that rings true! One of the mottos that I live by is Keep Calm and Carry on. Meant for British citizens as a strategy in world war II, it has meaning… Continue reading The Best of Times
Times & Seasons
If I want to know what season it is, I just have to look out my window at the Oak tree in my front garden. This Oak tree embraces the seasons with unashamed boldness. In Autumn it sheds leaves with such ferocity that neighbours down the street are also sweeping up the leaves that have… Continue reading Times & Seasons

The sounds of the household - brothers playing downstairs, dad working in the garage, the washing machine going, seemed… Continue reading The Hiding Place
The Power of Kindness
When it comes to impacting our world, kindness doesn't strike me as the main tool of choice. Healing - Yes! Generosity - Yes! Prayer - Yes! Kindness to me felt like the fourth musketeer who didn't quite make the cut. Or the apple bulks up the salad and left over as everyone else has somehow managed… Continue reading The Power of Kindness
The Aroma of Coffee
“Do we harden against God like the egg or take the aroma of God like the coffee in testing situations?” anon I love the aroma of Coffee! Nothing like a whiff of a good espresso to make me want to indulge. Flat whites are my coffee of choice at the moment but I am partial… Continue reading The Aroma of Coffee
Be the Light
Sir, we would see Jesus
The little lame boy hurried to the passenger gate of the railway station as fast as his crutches and basket of fruit and candy would permit. As the passengers rushed through the gate, a young man accidentally hit the basket, knocking oranges and apples in every direction. He stopped only long enough to scold the… Continue reading Sir, we would see Jesus
