  • Do it your way

    My young family enjoys playing a game called Loot, which involves ‘floating’ out merchant ships carrying various amounts of gold and then attacking these ships with different pirate boats.

  • Choose the best flowers

    I’m a thrifty person.

  • Finding your fit

    I sometimes feel I have to be all things. Do everything. Be a complete person.

  • Deviations from the perfect life

    I’m suspicious that life should be simpler than I make it... that I make things unnecessarily difficult for myself.

  • Are your thoughts your own?

    I’m sure I’m right. I’m positive that I’m right that I’m right about a lot less than I think I am.

  • The crisis of the heart

    The human heart has a great capacity for love. But it can only really love one thing supremely. I have had a few different loves of this type over the course of my life, and once something or someone has a hold on you like that, it’s not easy to let it go.

  • Can you really have church online?

    I recently started a Facebook group for the people in my city, called Pray for Ipswich. The idea came during a small prayer meeting, to create an online community with the goal of bringing local Christians and churches together.

  • Success is…

    Have you ever felt success is an enemy in disguise? It can raise your expectations and then send you on your way, plummeting back down to earth. 

  • Power for the Weak…But What About Me?

    The children of God always have something more to give. We have more to give. Always.

  • The One

    The group was too small. An hour of my precious time for just two people?
