On the central line on the way home from Westfield shopping centre I encountered a man clutching a can of Stella Artois preaching about Jesus. It wasn’t how he had almost stumbled and lost his balance on the way to his seat which was next to mine (ironically I was praying he wouldn’t sit there). ItContinueContinue reading “The drunk evangelist…”

One last time…
As I watched the final speech of President Barack Obama, my throat couldn’t help but join my eyes in an ensemble of grief and sadness. Having never met the man or stepped foot in American soil I could only admire from a screen as he gave his last address as President. It was emotionally moving. TheContinueContinue reading “One last time…”
2016 in summary…
In short, absence is 2016. I’ve felt overjoyed seeing friends transition from singleness to married life and have been thrown into sorrow with the wave of deaths in Hollywood.

You do too much even when it’s not needed….
These words have stuck with me ever since. Sometimes only the person who is close to you and knows your character is the person you need to turn to for some hard truths.

Happy Fathers Day…..
It happened that day…….a son proud to have a father stand before him in the midst of many. Teaching and preaching the ways of God and right before him was a little boy.
