  • The Narrow Gate

    The Narrow Gate

    Good morning. I am going away on Sunday for a few days to the beautiful High Peak in the Peak District of the UK to camp and walk. I’m hoping to walk to Kinder Scout, the place the historic mass trespass happened, which led to rights of way and public paths being granted to common…

    Seeing but not seeing..

    Where are we drinking from?

    It’s good to ponder such questions. I’m not thinking today of water which satisfies the physical thirst but our spiritual thirst. Where am I drinking from? Is it a pure source of living water or something else. God had something to say to the prophet Jeremiah on this very question. God had observed the following…
