Walking back home
Sore feet
Sore head
Sore heart
So tired
So sorry
So what
Walking back home
Still seeking
Still weeping
Still reaping
Say something
Say nothing
Say everything
Walking back home
No promises
No comprimises
November
To slow
To know
To say
Nothing
Instead
I'm Forgiven
Words fail me

Don't give up - there is always a way to fix things. If your in a bad place at the moment watch this little video clip it brought a tear to my eye.
All of us at sometime in life get stuck in reverse. Instead of going forward everthing seems to be going backwards. We have all made decisions and said things that we wish we could change. Getting unstuck is what...

[gallery]Here's a warning. Watch out ! You may be taking a perfectly innocent photograph but you don't know whose taking a photograph of you in return. You might get "photo shopped"
A few months ago I stopped to take a picture of the magical fairyland that Grangemouth becomes when it gets dark. I thought nothing of it. Then last night I had two police officers at my door inquiring as why I took a picture of the Grangemouth Plant way back at the end of the...

Its a dreary damp day in Central Scotland and I'm listening to "We See Lights" new album. And I no longer feel dreary because the music lifts my soul. There's a beautiful song called " Ghosts and Monsters" it has a wonderful hope filled lyric and I just love to discover music that speaks to the heart. Anyway I'm getting ready to put the material together for the sermon tomorrow and it reminds me that the gospel invades the soul and turns dreary days into days filled...

Did you know this week is Prisoner's Week? Its an opportunity to think about those who find themselves in prison and who are trying to think about the changes they will make when they get released. Over the years I've met some really intetesting people in prison. The fact is that many of us would be in prison if some of the things we've down in the past had been found out.

Of course this is nothing new, where you find people in community you will also find the potential for conflict. Its interesting because, I'm preparing a sermon from James chapter 4 this morning. In this chapter James asks the question, where does...
