Every step a prayer
I posted back at the beginning of February that I’ve signed up for Race for Life again this year. When I signed up, I was thinking about the many people battling cancer, and those who have fought and won, or fought and lost … but I didn’t know anyone personally.
Well, now it’s different. I’ll […]

Wordless Wednesday - 10 years
10 years ago, in March 1997, I was in Atlanta, Georgia, USA … here are a couple of my favourite photos. (sorry there are probably far too many words here for a Wordless Wednesday!)
Me on top of Stone Mountain, with the Atlanta skyline in the distance.
Me and one of my favourite things about visiting Atlanta […]

Tuesday
I’m having trouble stringing sentences together so once again, just a look at Count Your Blessings for today:
In Bangladesh, it is estimated that a million people are forced out of their homes each year

CYB
Just a quick Count your Blessings today:

Give 20p every time you return to your home safely today.
I have been out to work and come home, so I have returned […]

Tension
The sun is shining,
It’s a beautiful day,
But my mind is elsewhere,
Not enjoying the view.
I can’t make conversation.
Tuning out, not hearing.
My focus is inward,
Thinking of you.
The time ticks by,
To the appointed hour.
Unconsciously my fingers move
And cross themselves foolishly.
What can I do?
How can I help?
There is nothing that I can do,
There is nothing that I can say.
Pray […]

All sorts
I have been busy yesterday sorting out our living room. 2 things - it was a mess for a start, and also we needed to get access to the back corner of the room to pull a cable through, and it was blocked by a huge stash of toys on shelves. So we decided that […]

Sunday Seven - Freedom
I decided to do a Sunday Seven today on the theme of Freedom. Today it is 200 years since the abolition of the trans-atlantic slave trade. However slavery still goes on in many parts of the world.
For more information about slavery in the world today have a look at one of these links:
Stop the Traffik
Anti-Slavery
