    Fathers Day remembered..

    It is Father’s Day this Sunday in the UK. A day to honour and thank God for Fathers. I know this day will bring different memories for different people and I pray it can be a day of release, forgiveness, healing, restoration and peace in the Fathership of God. Here is a little throwback piece…

    Dark times..Follow the Light

    “If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ God is just as present in the darkness as in…
