I am a writer of Bible devotions, a writer of songs and occasionally a writer of poems. I am also a Christian, so I suppose you could call me a Christian writer. My first book - aptly named 'The Narrow Path' will be published in September 2024. I live in Northern Ireland and when I get the opportunity, I love to travel.

As the Christian observes the bitter-sweet scene of cross… Continue reading Completely Forgiven

Being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy. Colossians 1:11 Can you guess what part of this verse my mind focused on first? The answer is, ‘for all endurance and patience’. Did you guess right, or did you give me a bit more spiritual credit? To… Continue reading Equipped For Endurance

Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.

He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep”.

Paul now… Continue reading Putting It Into Practice
