One of my favourite Beginner’s Bible songs was “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego”. In the last year and a bit, the story of these men, and their friend Daniel, has really caught my attention. I want to share some the wonderful aspects of faith that marked Daniel and his friends as being set apart for God. … More Friends of Faith P1: Food for Strength
We watched some old family videos over Christmas. One of the very first clips was of a little me singing “Jesus Loves Me”. A few sections later, I was singing it again, this time to my younger sister in the cot. Later on, I sang it while was she crawling on the floor. I recorded … More Testimony, Hiddenness and Tools on Earth
I have just published my first eBook, “An Internship with Jesus”. It was not specifically planned, it just happened. In the last couple of weeks, I have had my annual leave. For the first part of it, I visited my husband at his country workplace, mostly spending the evenings with him when he came back … More Introducing “An Internship with Jesus”

Jesus answers many questions, though not always in the way anticipated. He also asks a fair few questions of His own. … More Q&A: The Master is First
I realised, in the last week, just how much I love to create things! Sure, I always enjoyed making things – wrapping gifts, writing a poem or a song, designing and making a dress, but now I felt an even greater joy in the process of creating. It is sometimes tedious, long, and fraught with … More Create.
King Ahab is possibly one of the most notorious kings of Israel. His wife, Jezebel is equally infamous. In reading about the life of King Ahab, I wonder how it could be that he acknowledged the power of God, yet only sometimes appealed to Him. Ahab directly and very clearly experienced the grace of God, … More Ahab’s Crown
Last week, we looked at how William Wilberforce and Queen Esther influenced their nations as a prominent politician, and as royalty respectively. Joseph also influenced a nation, despite being a stranger in it. He eventually rose to be called “Father to Pharaoh”, but he first endured through injustice, and serving in the mundane. We can … More Joseph – Father to Pharaoh
I’ve only just read up on the life story of William Wilberforce and I am struck by the impact of his life on society.
