This year has been one of pandemic, murder hornets, rioting, and (most recently) thundersnow. The truth is that for many people it has felt like a big yellow YOU ARE (stuck) HERE sticker without any map underneath to tell us where Here is. For some people, it means they've lost their bearings, for others, they're losing their minds. I just waned to remind you that You Are Here:
We, as believers, are on the winning side. We're still scrapping with the world, the flesh, and the devil, but we know that the victory is ours and that keeps us going.

Oh hello again. Happy New Year.
My testimony has appeared here before but I was telling it the other day when I realised that there are elements of it that I often forget to share. So now let me tell you about the man who led me to Christ and what he told me.

There are two D words that we do not use today, death and dementia. The first contains one of life's greatest truths, the second its greatest fear.
Racism is very real and very wrong but the church is getting sidetracked. But being woke changes nothing, it is the gospel that changes hearts and mind.
A new year is breaking. We do not know what it will bring except that it will bring us another cycle nearer to coming face to face with the one our soul loves and what will he say of you? Who are you? And who should you be?
