  • The ‘F’ Word

    Is Ruth really going to write about the ‘F’ word? She really isn’t that good, saintly Christian we depicted her as! What an awful choice of word! Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? Wash your mouth out with soap! Christians shouldn’t swear! Have you repented? Friends, I am…

  • Choosing Good News

    Is anyone else in disbelief, shock and sadness at the persecution and suffering of those being afflicted by terrorists at the moment? My heart actually aches.

  • Liberated

    Tonight something wonderful happened. Let’s place it in context. I went to church feeling burdened. I felt like a ‘bad’ Christian. I felt shameful. I was thinking about all the deadlines for university I had coming up and how unprepared I am. Thought about the worries I have with being…
