Spontaneous Prophetic Cello
Here’s one of our faves from last night’s track recording thanks to Mr Marcus Lee working his magic. Some pre-recording prayer with spontaneous prophetic cello!
Notions of Oceans
We all desperately want to hear God speak to us, don’t we? Those moments, rare as (we might think) they are, when the Holy Spirit speaks to us clearly and we know beyond any doubt at all that it was the Spirit of the risen Christ, dwelling in our inner man by faith, speaking.
Oikos: With Us
I’ve recorded three studio songs in the last few years and had others recorded and used at Life Church in Bradford, but none of them have adequately scratched the itch that keeps me writing and searching.
Song-writing for me is partly about scratching the itch I have to articulate what’s going on in my heart as I journey along the road towards the fullness of God. The itch isn’t from wanting to craft songs alone but wanting to know Him as He is and to express the peaks and troughs along the way. It’s the itch that will hopefully get more annoying the older I get and the nearer to Him I am.

Why Jesus is coming back to planet Earth for a bride not a husband
Easter Paradidomi
Why Good Friday really is very, very good
I’m colour blind – i.e. I can’t always discern between shades of brown and red and green. This means very little to me except that I can’t be an RAF pilot or a bomb disposal expert. It also means that I occasionally fowl in snooker by playing a brown by mistake. And it means that I can’t always see patterns, like the boat, below:

The Wonder Of It All
Here are some snaps of our Paper Anniversary jaunt from Inverbervie, through the Cairngorns, to Loch Ness – awesome!
I dedicate this to Mairi who is the biggest wonder in all of this.
Thank you to Mum and Dad who have loved and supported us this year more than we can tell and for accepting us as we are. We love you!
People say that the first year of marriage is hard in getting used to living with someone, sleeping with someone, preferring someone else to your own selfish empire. But Mairi is a constant joy for me: she puts up with my grumpiness and all my quirks; she is easy to be with all the time; she loves me for who I am; she makes me feel strong and encourages me to be who I am in Him. And she is a foxy lady. Such favour from Jesus.
