Posted on March 12, 2017 by honestaboutmyfaith

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 →

A picture has popped up on my Facebook feed a few times in the past week. It shows lettering on the wall of a church where the ‘S’ has fallen off so it now reads ‘AINT PETER’S CHURCH’ Seeing the picture made … Continue reading →

The One About the Herb Eater

Posted on November 18, 2015 by honestaboutmyfaith

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 →

The One About the Poster in the Men’s Toilets

Posted on October 11, 2015 by honestaboutmyfaith

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 →

The One Where Someone Threw A Dog At Me

Posted on October 8, 2015 by honestaboutmyfaith

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 October 3, 2015 by honestaboutmyfaith

So, I was trying to collect a pizza and as I walked along the front of the shop towards the door I was looking at my phone and bringing up the order number. I glanced up and saw that I was nearly … Continue reading →

Ooh Carpetright

Posted on August 31, 2015 by honestaboutmyfaith

So, as we were driving around a roundabout (well you don’t go across them do you!) my daughter shouted from the back, ‘OOH CARPETRIGHT’. She said it with the same kind of enthusiasm that you would expect from an ‘it’s … Continue reading →

Posted on December 19, 2014 by honestaboutmyfaith

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 honestaboutmyfaith

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

Posted on June 29, 2014 by honestaboutmyfaith

I love this picture. It makes me laugh every time I see it but it also makes me sad because it can be true. Gandhi said: I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so … Continue reading →
