Before this year’s Baby Loss Awareness Week, I called on you, the people of the internet world, to help me choose a charity to support through the sales of my book. In a Twitter poll, the overwhelming majority of you voted for Baby Lifeline. And so it was that the cause was selected as my…

There is really only one thing I can write about this week. This weekend marks the centenary of the day the guns fell silent to mark the end of World War One. Across the country, events are being held, quite rightly, to commemorate this momentous event – along with all the men and women who…

It’s arrived. Wintry weather. It’s time to wrap up warm in hats, scarves and gloves, knowing you’ll still feel a chill on your nose. And it’s time to start leaving the house 10 minutes earlier in the morning if you have to drive, ready to scrape the frost off the car windscreen. And it’s a…

People often ask me how my book is doing and, if I’m honest, it’s a question I tend to answer with a vague, “Yeah, it’s doing okay.” The truth is, I don’t really know what to say because, in all honesty, I don’t really understand the question. And I don’t know whether the same question…

I wasn’t sure what to share in my blog this week. Sometimes I have a clear idea well in advance. Other times something fresh pops into my mind just at the right moment. This week, nothing fresh has presented itself, which seemed like the ideal opportunity to dip into some of my past journal entries.…

Throughout history, God has tasked His followers with sharing his love and deeds with others. The early disciples shared how Jesus died on the cross so they could be forgiven for their sins, and now 21st-Century Christians share the same message. They add further examples of God’s love and grace more than 2,000 years on,…
