Continue reading →: Get out of my parking space…For as long as I can remember, the parking situation on my street has been pretty bad; too many houses, not enough car space, and yesterday, I had ‘words’ with a new neighbour (who I’ve never met before). I arrived home late, tired and hungry and joy of joys, as I pulled up, I…

Continue reading →: A little bit of a spooky story…I believe in the supernatural. I believe God can heal, that angels are real and that God hears us when we pray. I might as well admit it and get that out there. After I scribbled the last blog (The first night I met him), I was chatting to my…

Continue reading →: The first night I met him…I’ll always remember the first time I met him. It’s hard to forget. I was only small (maybe 4 or 5) and I’d woken up in the middle of the night, really thirsty. There was a soft, warm glow of light shining under my bedroom door, coming from downstairs and…

Continue reading →: What if church was more like the Apple Store?On Boxing Day, I dropped my iPhone and shattered the glass. Although still useable, I delayed getting it fixed, because I knew it would cost about £100. This week though, after another little chunk of glass fell out (and I was leaving little trails of glass slithers behind me), I…

Oh Netflix, how I love thee. Ever since I discovered the joy of US drama boxsets, I’ve been gripped by The Good Wife, Greys and more recently (and somewhat darker), the US version of House of Cards. Many of the dramas usually start out innocently enough; great plot, quirky characters…

Continue reading →: Liar, liar, pants on fire.I told a lie once. Ok, to be fair, I’m sure in my lifetime, I’ve probably fudged the truth more than once, but this one sticks out because it was such an extraordinary whopper. It was a long time ago, in a previous job and I’d made a fairly catastrophic…

Continue reading →: A dirty little secret…Recently, I’ve been following the devastating story of a US Christian personality who’s been on trial facing charges of child sexual assault. Yesterday, he was given a 40-year sentence and in summing up, the judge said, “I’m having a lot of trouble trying to reconcile two people in one orange jumpsuit before…

Continue reading →: Africa…the most beautiful place on earth.A few years ago, I got stuck in Mozambique. I’d been there on a week-long filming trip and after a week of staying in a rural area guest house, we headed back to the capital and to a really nice hotel. That night, we had an amazing buffet meal, stacked…

Earlier in the year, I was visiting a friend who was looking for a church home. She’d had her eye on one particular place, so one Sunday morning, we steadied our newbie nerves and went to visit. The church was ablaze with welcome signs, flags and invitations to join small…

Continue reading →: First dates, emotional baggage and…Jesus.I was in London last week and had a couple of hours to kill before catching my train home. So with book in hand, I nestled myself into the corner of a snug little coffee area and got stuck into my book and cup of Chai. I don’t make a habit…
