After work one day, I decided to go for a short run. There’s a great route that’s really close to the college I work at that takes you along an estuary which gives you glorious views of the local landscape. It also offers some quite violent crosswinds sometimes that can quite literally take your breath […]
Dads, this was our moment! It was our chance to shine! We were thrust into a world that we did not see coming, and our families looked to us as they had never done before. And we completely bossed it… A recent report by the Fatherhood Institute has revealed some really interesting outcomes from the […]

I actually ‘met’ him on two occasions. The first time he was the inspecting officer on Divisions in HMS Collingwood and he walked past […]
He is alive! I remember being baptised, it was 1992 and my brother and I had decided to make a public testimony at our church in Harlow that we wanted to follow Jesus for ourselves and be all in. I remember reading my bible to find out more about what it meant and the significance […]
