God is a DJ

I’d say Bounce was class! There I said it. Although I’ve grown up and been part of the Urban Junction story, Bounce was one of them things that I never got to experience and don’t get me wrong, my experience of Urban Junction has been an extremely positive one…but still. I would have loved a […]

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 […]

Janey, I’m exhausted!

No Capes

Anyone remember the movie The Incredibles? There’s a superhero dad (Bob) in the movie and he is just fed up with the normal job. He sells insurance, it’s a good job, but it’s not the job for him. He starts doodling on a sketch pad, drawing different superhero suits because he wants to go back […]

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 […]
