Still

A short, stripped-back worship set for those of us who need to get still

I was astonished that although I now loved you…I did not persist in enjoyment of my God.

Persevere

Mairi and I, along with our friend Sam, spent a glorious few days last week in Torbay filming on location for the Jesus Come project which is coming along nicely.

Tears To My Eyes

Have you ever caught your moustache in one of these?
