The Most Satisfying Conclusion

18/04/2014 17:27
When I was preparing for my season in bed earlier in the year, I made sure I was well stocked with an abundance of reading matter. I returned from a visit to the library with 3 shopping bags filled to the brim. My gallant men carried my heavy bags from the library to the car – bless them. I...

A Gift in my Mailbox

11/04/2014 22:05
  On the morning of 24th February, I was enjoying my daily Quiet Time when my peace was shattered. Two text messages beeped their way into my phone - one from my cousin Dharshi; the other from my friend’s daughter Suzanne. They both shared the same sad news. My friend Christine had died an...

What was THAT about?

Remember those "Hey… What was that about" moments? When you wrinkle your forehead and scratch your head in bewilderment? I experienced one of them last year. I returned home after the Christian Writer’s Getaway in October 2013, filled to the brim with God’s goodness and love, excited about my...

A Grey Day

28/03/2014 17:43
Last Tuesday was a grey day – it was grey without; it was grey within. When I woke up, the sky looked overcast. A few drops of rain fell softly as more rain clouds gathered, casting shadows over my garden. My recent season of loss had resulted in pain, sadness and tears. I was off to the village...

My Handy Walking Stick

After my first operation 14 months ago, I acquired something unusual. We stopped at our local chemist on our way back from hospital. My husband went inside. Ten minutes later he came out carrying something I’d never needed before. Its shiny handle was a chestnut brown; the length of our new...

Rhonda Pooley invited me to my Writing Process Blog Tour. Rhonda has been writing for many years. She describes herself among other things as "being as much  in love with the English Language as she has ever been". Sounds wonderful! Her book 'Cambodian Harvest' is due to be out on April...

A Simple Rubber Band

  As I’ve poured over the Word during my daily times with Jesus, a Bible verse would often grab me and speak into my heart. I’d copy it on a small piece of paper and add it to my growing collection. I would then place it in a little see-through plastic box. Subsequently, I’d pull the verses...

Leanne's Legacy

07/03/2014 20:18
    It’s not often one loses two close friends in less than two weeks. Just ten days after my friend Christine had crossed the valley of the shadow of death, I received more sad news. Unlike Christine’s passing – Leanne’s death was totally unexpected. Leanne was only 43 – far too...

Tribute to a Friend

July 1991. A beautiful evening in Sri Lanka.  My little 1 year old and I were playing in the garden when my sister Sal stopped to chat with me. We watched my toddler delighting in the outdoors; busy as a bee, as happy as Larry. “I wish I could be part of a ministry Sal” I told her. “I really...

Relax those Toes

Last Wednesday was my fortnightly appointment with my surgeon. I knew what to expect when I hobbled into his surgery that day. He’d make sure my recovery was going well. He’d get the nurse to remove my bandage, clean my wounds and fix a fresh bandage over them. He would also remove the pin he’d...
