“Giving UP” Well, it’s that time of lent when I delve deeper within myself and ask, what are those things that prevent me from growing as a human being, living life with Hope and freedom? But most importantly what stops me building a closer relationship with the one myself and my son Michael call “Pappa Heaven” […]
About the Sport Principle The 80/20 principle is well known: 80% of insurance claims are made by 20% of claimants; 80% of road traffic accidents are caused by 20% of drivers; 80% of wages are earned by 20% of workers; 80% of alcohol is drunk by 20% of drinkers, etc. The variables don’t matter here.

About the Sport Principle Rugby League is essentially a very simple (and brilliant) sport in its aims and objectives: gain territory. That’s it.

In the first part of this series I listed what are for me the positives of Asperger’s Syndrome. I am all too aware of how the negatives affect me (and others). Each day I have to make the conscious decision to live out the positives, sometimes I am successful, sometimes I am not. However, writing all […]
Some time ago I heard Nicky Gumbel talking about the fact there were only 6 people in Saint Pauls on Easter Sunday 1740! Then God raised up two anointed evangelists, Wesley and Whitfield, and thousands came to faith. Throughout history there have been times of renewal and revival – godly moments when the Lords peoples […]
Check out this excellent blog from friend of CVM, Jason Muxworthy – the first in a new series on this important subject.
