Retired, married to Juliet, and a Christian who loves books, writing, music, nature, gardening, and photography. I'm exploring prayer and spirituality, using my photos to reflect on God and how faith fits into real life: and I hope to stimulate and encourage others to meet with Jesus. Health really matters- and you value it most when there is a risk of losing it! I was unexpectedly diagnosed with colonic cancer, and had successful surgery late in 2019. Love the NHS, God bless them). I am still living with a life-changing condition of fibromyalgia and trying to support others with this illness and other "invisible illnesses." Life has been changed but hope burns eternal. Faith has a deep relevance in good times and tough ones, in sickness and in health. God has been good in my life and has been with me in all these varied experiences.

Life is a wonderful gift. I’m thankful for a wonderful wife, a loving (growing) wider family, the amazing friends I have made, places I have lived and visited… I’m thankful to still be here at the ripe old age of 64. … More Now I’m 64… Look, See, Pray
The Giant Leap… Look, See, Pray
July 19, 2019
Great faith and great science often stand together: if they seem opposed, it is only in the same sense that our thumb “opposes” our fingers- so we can better grasp reality. … More The Giant Leap… Look, See, Pray
First things first- Look, See, Pray
July 12, 2019
I’ve been thinking about priorities. The last couple of weeks have found me needing to conserve energies. Dozing off at odd moments isn’t really a problem for a retired man (as long as I don’t burn the dinner or crash the car) because I can “do it tomorrow.” Except some days I can end up not … More First things first- Look, See, Pray

My guess is the bees. … More Job Satisfaction! – Look, See, Pray
