The Best And Worst of Times
WITH THE best of intentions, I planned to write a further blog post last weekend, but amidst a blessed and busy, redemptive God-gifted trip back to my unplanned, second home […]
Sunday Scribe: Redemption
Redemption is a big word. I’m experiencing a, “wee bit” of it in these days. From a not-so-easy 2018 in Redding, and certainly not an easy ending, Father God has […]
Authenticity in an Era of Fakeness
We hear a lot these days about “fake news”, which has surfaced only in the Trump era. I’m not a big fan of that falsely created term, but that’s not […]
Sunday Scribe…
Sunday Scribing skipped the past week or two. Will endeavour to resume again next week. Check back then. Meanwhile here’s a random soul-soothing photograph of Fairhead, Ballycastle, County Antrim, in […]
Sunday Scribe
The article I’ve linked to below is one I scribbled in passionate frustration two weeks shy of two years ago. It’s caught my attention this weekend for how much of […]
Sunday Scribe: Sheep Identity
Just a few thoughts for tonight. I’ve been thinking since a few weeks ago about a talk I heard at a Church recently in Northern Ireland. The crux of it […]
Sunday Scribe: Rediscovering Bone Broth
Let’s talk about bone broth. (Not the kind of article you were perhaps expecting, but variety is the spice of life and all that). As I continue to recover from […]
Sunday Scribe: 27th January 2019
Believe it or not this wee blog effort experiment is 6 years old later this year. Six years have passed in the blink of an eye, like a bullet plucked […]
Thanksgiving 2017
No, you didn’t read that wrongly. Tonight I’m thinking lots of USA, and decided just to come out of recent busyness in life and rest from online activity, to remember […]
All The Best
Time has run away. The bright Summer evenings are faded. This will be my last blog post I said I’d do over July and August from Northern Ireland. This past […]
Open Skies and Hungry Hearts
I happen to have just turned on the TV a short while ago, and someone else had left it on a channel 65, “TBNUK” – the Christian channel now available […]
Sixteen Weeks
Sixteen weeks on from the Redding accident I decided to vulnerably share about in April, the sun is gratefully able to be felt once again on my skin. Time can […]
Over 3,400 Fire Fighters Continue to Battle Redding Blaze
My heart is very, very heavy ongoingly today, ever since I discovered almost by chance late on Thursday evening UK time, that my second home of Redding was about to […]
Back home…
This time last week I was in Krakow. Now I’m back home. This week’s Summer blog post is a simple photograph depicting home for me, in rural, agricultural Northern Ireland. Beautiful […]
40 days in the Wilderness
Not sure if it’s obvious where I’m writing this from. Some of the more astute of you may recognise and realize this to be Krakow. Today is my 40th day […]

A small number of white-tailed deer live on the Eastern end of Europe in the Central Bohemian region of the Czech Republic where they face challenges. Source: Deer Destinations: Whitetails […]
Short Ode to the NHS
This week’s July/August weekly blog posts, is a wee bit later than planned and will be a bit shorter and sweeter than normal perhaps. As many others have shared today, […]
Further Reflections on an Eventful Year:
HAVING SHOCKED you with my photos last time, I hope you’ve realized by now my intentional opposite spirit to the majority of social media, (which is often aimed at presenting […]
Boots from a notable night
It’s true a picture is worth a thousand words. Many people may not have believed the post I shared on 2nd May, sharing a tiny 10% snippet of what happened […]
The last normal Tuesday
EIGHT weeks ago tonight was my last ever evening riding my trusty moped in Redding, California. It offered a practical, fun and highly economic solution to the lack of public […]
Advent Home: Final post
This will be my last post of the year, before closing the laptop for 2017 and enjoying Christmas mostly away from technology. I have driven home from Northern California to […]
Advent photo series (USA) 7 & 8:
This was meant to be uploaded and posted yesterday, but technical issues prevented it, so here goes again, two for today. Two more from passing through San Francisco last week: […]
Advent (USA): 6
Now home for the festive period, I am deliberately posting some photographs and posts provoked by my recent time in USA. Today’s is from last week in San Francisco…. Having […]
