I was talking to the parent of a child who is diagnosed as on the autistic spectrum a few weeks ago. I asked her what her hopes and dreams were for him. One of the things she highlighted was “being given the opportunity to serve”. This particular little boy is very intelligent, has an amazing […]
If you’ve headed here to see some of my writing, I tend to write for others! Most of my stuff can be found here: I’ll put some more links on later. I fully intend to put more on here soon. Be blessed! Source link
Is it possible to sing in a face mask? It’s a daft question I know, but I have a reason for asking… Since the announcement that places of worship can open in July, there has been a plethora of questions, that actually cannot be answered until the guidelines are issued. But it hasn’t stopped people […]
I wrote this back in 2013 as part of a longer series on prayer. I’ve reworked it a bit to to make it a stand alone piece. I hope you find it helpful: Let’s be honest – we all find prayer difficult at some point in our lives, and for many different reasons. If you […]
This is an old blog from 2014 (and an old website) that I thought I’d repost here. I still hear similar experiences, so it’s worth saying again: I’ve thought long and hard about writing this blog post. It’s a vulnerable one…. and I hate being vulnerable. But it keeps screaming at me to be written, […]
I wrote the following some time ago for Premier Life….which of course no longer exists. So I have been given permission to reblog. It may be a few years old – but the experiences are the same today (actually worse for some), so I thought the re-post would be good. ‘Disabled Speakers’ I turned up […]
Most people don’t realise that I’m a puppeteer. Steve is so good – I tend to leave the ‘puppeting’ to him and I stick to the story telling (Which I love!) ….but, I taught him all the basics and he took it on from there – becoming better than his tutor! I’m currently working on […]
There has been a positive side to the Covid-19 crisis. The following positivity is not meant to ignore the massive difficulties that have hugely increased for many children, adults and families who live with additional needs and disability. Outside the church the crisis has widened the chasm to the extreme for many, creating lots more […]
I’ve always resisted filming myself for YouTube… or podcasting. It flusters me, and when others film me it doesn’t come out well. But with our current situation, I’ve had to move with the times….. Writing is my thing, I find it comfortable to express myself in that form – I can finely hone words on […]
Well, we are now officially social distancing. Steve comes into the over 70 group (I know, I know – he doesn’t look it…..and most of the time doesn’t act it!). I am in the vulnerable group due to asthma, the fact I react badly to any infection, and I’m still not completely recovered from last […]
Hello First of all, we’d love to wish you a blessed and happy Christmas time, and thank you for your continued care, prayer a nd support. As per normal, it’s been a busy year for us. It started with the usual work things alongside needing to do the final clearing of Kay’s mum’s house ready […]
You may know that I have 26 years experience in children’s work and training children’s workers. You may also know that I specialise in training and writing about additional needs and disability. My experience is across all types of disability, not just one specific area. What you may not know is; I offer expenses only […]
A young couple in Michigan claim that their home is possibly haunted by a malicious evil spirt/demon after their daughter appeared to have three deep “purple scratches” on her face. They also believe they have captured the supernatural creature on their nanny cam. Now they are ready to move out. Wouldn’t you? Heather and Josh […]
The scientific world is shocked at new findings that suggest that all human life descended from just two individuals. Additionally, the same scientific community also claims an event nearly wiped out all humanity about 100,000 years ago. Of course, this is almost precisely what the Bible describes in both the Creation Story and in the […]
