I Miss my Dog

by

I remember one Sunday evening a couple of years ago. Liverpool were playing Chelsea in the Premier League. Liverpool were drawing 1-1 to a superior team. The game seemed to be playing itself out for a draw when an unlikely figure popped up and scored. Glen Johnson, Liverpool’s then right back beat their defence and […]

Listen to Aslan, Listen to Jesus

I love C.S. Lewis. He is my favourite author. I own like all his books, from ‘Mere Christianity’ to ‘The Screwtape Letters’. He used creative ways in which he showed what the world was like and where the Christian was to fit in that. That is kinda the sentence I use to sum him and […]
