Tuning In
Thanks to a tip-off from a friend, I have a new app on my phone. It listens to birdsong and tells me what I am hearing. I love turning it on in the early morning while the birds are in full voice and seeing what it picks up in the railway cutting at the back…

Boats on the River
A few years ago, I co-authored a book on worship. It sprang from many years delivering music in worship seminars and training events, as well as leading congregations before God.

Asking Questions
Every stage you pass through as a parent involves some things you love, and some that you want to move on from as soon as possible. With my son, I am in a phase that I both love and hate – and I think many will sympathise: the ‘Why?’ phase. I have to be very…

New Year – New Carpet!
Two months ago, we moved into our new house. Every wall was the same shade of off-white and the floor varied from grey carpets to white tiles. It was at best, clean and neutral, but it felt like it had no soul. We did our best to unpack and make our mark on it with…
