I Feel Like that Antelope

Posted on March 12, 2017 by

At Orchard Baptist, we sometimes project video footage behind song words and I often tell people the story of the wildlife footage that our computer operator used once (and I stress the word once!) We had been singing about God being the … Continue reading →

Posted on November 18, 2015 by

So, we had some friends coming around for dinner, one of whom is a vegetarian and when we told my daughter, she said, ‘I know her, she is a herb eater’. At that moment the language she needed escaped her and … Continue reading →

Posted on October 11, 2015 by

This is a poster from the men’s toilets in the Colchester Odeon cinema (I never thought that would be an opening line for a blog post!) I need to make it clear that I don’t normally take photographs in public … Continue reading →

Posted on October 8, 2015 by

So, we were tidying up after our toddler group and I noticed that there was a toy dog underneath some chairs. One of the toddlers was toddling (it’s funny how they do that) around and so I had asked her if … Continue reading →

Posted on December 19, 2014 by

The three winners names were all read out and they were congratulated for their 100% attendance but then it was realized that none of them were there. The irony of this was only softened by the fact that at least … Continue reading →

The irony of freedom behind a fence

Posted on September 16, 2014 by

I love irony and when I found this picture on the net yesterday it really made me smile. The statue of William Wallace with the word ‘FREEDOM’ stands fenced off and trapped and surely this is as ironic as things … Continue reading →

Don’t let worries kill you, let the church help

Posted on June 29, 2014 by
