  • Lessons from a blown tyre and a gym towel

    Do you ever question God’s timing?

  • How are you in bumpy weather?

  • Just When You Think You’re Safe…

    I wasn’t looking forward to the flight back to Barbados from Jamaica. Although I travel frequently, I’m a nervous flyer. Being 39,000 feet up in the air, locked inside something I can’t get out of triggers my claustrophobia. I hate the turbulence and the possibility something could go wrong during take-off and landing.

  • A question of scandal

    Imagine for a moment that you and I are sitting together in a cosy cafe, enjoying a cup of coffee and having a leisurely chat. Then all of a sudden, I lean in closer and ask you: "What is your purpose?"

  • Are you a Christian Tree?

    The island of Barbados is breathtakingly beautiful. My Barbadian friend, Endomo, a graphic artist who loves outdoor photography, recently sent me a picture of a tree he spotted on a road trip. Here’s the picture:
