Competing desires circle my soul.

  • What do we really desire most?

    I have often questioned what it is that we most desire as humans. So I often ask the young people I work with “What do you want most out of life?” Answers have included; fame, wealth, status, sex, making a difference and many more. But the most common thing that is said, which everything boils down to, is that people want to be happy.

  • Singlehood is not the end of the world

    I had a great catch up with a friend this week. We talked about friends living in blissful relationships and also friends who broke up after many years of courtship, leaving them to question their worth and identity. Single people want to be married, and married people want to be single. But, is singlehood really that bad?

  • I went Godless for a year

    Growing used to things is scary because it numbs – it numbs the fear of darkness, the pain, the desire for love.

    “Pain and suffering are a part of life.” There – all the sage wisdom you will ever need to hear in one short sentence.

  • Oh no, it’s chipped!

    The other day I accidentally dropped my glass in the sink and it cracked. The glass did not completely shatter but merely chipped on the top. Still it was now a chipped glass. The glass barely knocked the sink but it must have hit at just the right angle to chip a bit off the top.

  • City win Title, Chelsea win FA Cup !!

    Manchester City celebrated their sensational season in style with a last minute winner away at Southampton to rack up an impressive and record 100 point season.

  • Always there

    A friend phoned me the other day. As I was talking to her, she asked me if I had seen the email she had sent me. I told her I hadn’t and would have a quick look.

  • Remember the miracles in your life

    When I stop and look back over my life I am amazed by the significant things that have happened

  • From a Wrestling Christian – Waiting for the moon, do words have power?

    I was sitting on the shore of Australia, it was 10.00pm and we were waiting for the moon. I was told that at 10:30pm the moon overtakes the ocean.
