Don’t you love the feeling of unwrapping something you have been looking forward to for a long time? Recently, for me, it was a new laptop.

Frustratingly, I turned… Continue reading 1Th 5v18 – Gratitude
There is a song I used to enjoy singing with the children at Sunday School. “O Be careful little tongue what you say. O be careful little tongue what you say.

“Did you hear what Susie did at Tom’s party?” It’s enough to get everyone to stop talking and lean in to listen. What is it about gossip that we are drawn to it like flies to dung?
