The summary of this post is pretty much going to be: Stay at home and wear a mask when you absolutely have to go out! There will likely be some reference to the 'Don't be a Dick' wall-hanging in my man cave that was the most amazing gift from my family-in-law a year or so ago. The two are not so far removed from each other. It will come with anecdotal urgings, such as [...]
It's been so good hearing from different people during our Life during Lockdown series. It is the chance of my friend Alexa to finish it off for now: Alexa is a mom to two busy boys, wife to a great guy and a social worker. Being outside makes her happiest but her big passion really is that people know that they matter. What has lockdown been like so far? It’s been a juggle: of [...]
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, and aeroplanes. And Lenny Bruce is not afraid...

Question 1: What has your experience of lockdown been so far? My experience of the lockdown has been nothing short of a personal nightmare!

Some people are finding it hard to believe in God at the moment. During a pandemic that is threatening to wipe out so many people and cause a trail of destruction the notion of an all-loving, all-powerful God can feel completely absurd. Others are preaching that this is God's punishment on a world that has largely rejected God. Which is also a bitter pill to swallow. i have been wrestling with my faith in [...]
