Well, I haven’t written for a few days or is it weeks? And now I am here to have a rant as I am rather fed up.
I have a rare illness called Ocular Cicatricial Pemphigoid and have been on DLA and Incapacity Benefit since I finished work over 2 years ago. Them who have the [...]

Going for a walk the other day with my lady-friend, we chose to explore the Southern end of the Lancaster canal. On the opposite bank to the towpath a long row of terraced houses had back gardens which came to the edge of the canal bank. The land on which the houses were built was [...]

The other day I was passing through our village and noticed some electricity workers attaching a new cable to the top of an electricity pole near to our Church. Some time later I passed again and they were still hard at work. By this time it was snowing quite hard and the man in the [...]

Unexpected consequences
Posted in Uncategorized on January 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
God has a way of working through the things we did unintentionally as well as through the deeds we do through our faithfulness to His Word. A Church not far from us wanted to create a new website and found a volunteer webmaster who, although he did not attend the Church, was quite willing to [...]

In my view the principal of homeopathy is illogical. As I understand it the more dilute the dose the more powerful the effect. How is it, then, that the box of pills requires me to take four tablets. Surely it would be more effective if I only took one, or perhaps none at all. It [...]

If the story of the Good Samaritan was to happen today then most people would walk by on the other side, just as they did then. Or at least they would if they followed safety advice and did a risk assessment of the situation. It would be reasonable to expect that someone would telephone the [...]

When my father was made redundant he decided to buy a new car, which was the first brand new car he had ever owned. After some research he bought a Honda Accord which, long after my father’s death has continued to give good service. The other week I had set off intending to do some Christmas [...]
