‘Life, Love and Miracles’ are a beautiful trio that I would use when describing my spiritual journey. Because … Real Life is often more bizarre or more beautiful or more broken than any well-written novel could ever be. Love is the all-powerful emotion that heals hearts, restores hope and harbors happiness. God is the very origin of Love. The personification of Love. God is Love. Miracles are happening all around us, every day. People pray and people see God move. People are continually being blown away by Gods goodness. Because … I want you to be blown away too! I want you to discover your purpose and passion for life. I want you to be surprised by Gods love. And I want you to be amazed by the myriad of modern day miracles that are happening all around you. Because … This is what makes me come alive. This is what makes me want to explode with passion and purpose. Sharing the realness yet greatness of God. Exploring the casual yet intimate depths of Gods Love. Being real. Sharing Gods Love Growing in Faith These three statements are the foundation, the support and the very reason for this ongoing conversation. These are the three pillars that will uphold this blog.

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us. Psalm 34:4-5 (NLT) I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Those who...
read moreMy great desire is that this blog is accessible to everyone, no matter where you are on your faith journey - even if you are not yet on your faith journey.
It’s about giving you a glimpse of God and His incredible and unfailing love. It’s about showing you more of him until eventually you start to ‘know’ him.
Because to know God, is to Love God.
Real love is ‘Knowing’. As the knowing grows so the love expands to contain it.
PRAYER REQUESTS & QUESTIONS
We all have issues that we face; some seem large and insurmountable, some leave us broken and grieving and some turn up the pressure to the point that we feel that we are going to explode. But there is always hope, always light and always love …. And joy comes in the morning. Read more
PRAISE & WORSHIP
Worship is certainly one of my true passions. And although there are many different expressions of worship, my favorite by far is music. Being a drummer myself and having been strongly influenced by Christian Rock, I always enjoy the roundy ‘Praises’ but it is in the quiet ‘Worship’ where we truly come ‘heart to heart’ with God.
