Jerusalem

Now, here’s a thing – what do you know about Jerusalem?  I suspect most of us think that we know more than we do. Try this little test (*Answers at the bottom of the page): When is Jerusalem first mentioned in the Bible?Which Israelite King first conquered...

Wittertainment

Now, here’s a thing, do you know what Wittertainment is? And if you do, are you an LTL or an STL and have you ever been an FTE? Would you know what to say to Jason Isaacs if you met him (but not Jeremy Irons?) Lastly, do you love the show, Steve? Well, enough, I hear...

Black Lives Matter

Now, here’s a thing – Some subjects can be difficult and somewhat touchy to talk about. ‘Black Lives Matter’ is certainly one of those. What is the Christian view on it? Well, there isn’t one, firstly because the topic itself has become broad and diverse with many...

Don Masson

Now, here’s a thing….. football!  I confess that I have always loved football, playing it and watching it. As a boy it filled a lot of my waking hours. As a teenager I got the same Christmas present every year - a new pair of boots. When it comes to football I am...
