I really liked the other design and I know that some of you, my dear readers, did too. The problem was that I couldn’t work out how to get category boxes down the side and it was all a bit ‘loose’. So, I decided to upsticks again. I like this. I haven’t worked out if [...]

Scripture Sandwich Anyone?
Remember how a few weeks ago I fed a caller at the door while working at the presbytery? I was feeling a bit deflated after making him a sandwich and a cup of tea as I felt that there ought to be more that I could do to assist him. Well that [...]

We can learn a thing or two
I just finished watching a documentary about learning disabled singles joining a dating agency to find love .

Poem for Wives
He didn’t like the casserole
And he didn’t like my cake.

I pondered for an [...]

When your man get’s home from work and ask’s
“Honey, what’s cooking?”

I don’t think I could swallow it, but men being a different species, er gender, just might.

One minute we’re happily praying, the next moment it came to the sign of the peace and my daughter almost keeled over. Sweat [...]
