There is nothing like visiting your home town to be reminded of where you have come from, and what was being sown into your life when you didn’t realise it.

I used to think about courage in terms of doing ‘big’ physical things, like going on the giant swing at a Sport and Recreation camp, climbing out on the yard arm of a tall ship, and jumping off the 10m diving platform (I’ve never done that!). But then I heard a sermon about having courage […]

What direction are you heading? Are you travelling fast or slow? Have you got everything you need? Who is guiding you? Are you listening closely for directions?
