Still waters

‘Still waters run deep’ goes the expression, mostly referring to people who maybe don’t say much but who think deeply. I often think of the verse in psalm 23 – ‘He leads me beside still waters…’ We tend to think of water as moving: the sea is in constant movement, rivers flow, lakes have currents… Read More

Sugar and alcohol are the main targets, as it tends to be for Christians in Lent.… Read More

No dead ends

Recently I have had a very bad bout of vertigo, which was caused by a new medication I was taking to try and ease my vertigo. Trust me to react adversely to something which was supposed to help! I have struggled through the last few weeks, gradually decreasing the amount of these drugs and waiting… Read More
