Shepherd to hero, fugitive to king, greatly loved but also greatly disciplined, at peace and at war; this was the life of King David. It always amazes me to look at David’s life, marvel at the stressors he must have experienced, and yet see the joy and hope he maintained in God. Alongside David, Paul … More Could it be joy?
Happy New Year all! In the last week, I’ve had Keith Green’s song “Create in Me a Clean Heart” playing in my head, singing its way out on trips to and fro work, and even as we have prepared for holiday events.

At first, I wondered how we would memorise Paul’s long sentences with their many joining words, and lists of character qualities. Now, I realise what he was trying to emphasise and encourage. … More Titus – An Accounting from Leaders
I always thought the scariest, and most stressful part of medicine would be me not knowing enough to adequately treat someone, or making a mistake with their management.
