I offered a sermon today on the subject of "Love", with close reference to 1 Corinthians 13 and John 15: 9-17. It was the final part of our six-week sermon series on Jesus Shaped People. Here's the text (with illustrations) if you want to have a read. Jesus talked about love a LOT. It was …
PamBook Entry 23rd Jan 2023
Today is… Monday 23rd January What I’ve been up to today… I’ve had a bit of a strange day today. Pain and numbness in my legs meant I couldn’t go to the toddler group this morning, then I went to the orthopaedic surgeon for an appointment with my hip - or so I thought - …
Work In Progress
A short post today to share my latest work in progress with you. As I am still recovering and not able to be out and about as much as I'd like, I am trying to keep my hands and mind occupied with a few things. This little project is part of a bigger one for …
Small Steps
I took my first steps back to 'normality' today, and went to my first church service since the end of November. It felt very strange. It has been the longest I have not been in a church in the last 8 years or so, and as this was my first Advent and Christmas as a …
Night Mail
I've been thinking about trains a lot in the last couple of days. Not sure if it's because of the ongoing strikes and pay disputes or something deeper, but that, along with watching a TV programme last night on how train carriages and the driver's cabs are created, has put me in mind of the …

I am trying to increase my walking distance each day now that my surgical wounds are more or less healed, and this afternoon I went for a little stroll in Foxdenton Park with my husband, Kevin. When we set off to get there (only about 10 minutes up the road by car) the sky was …
“Life”
Happy New Year !! I know that some of us will have had some very high highs and some pretty gruesome lows last year, and for the most part, the events of last year will have been somewhere on that spectrum of emotion. It's tempting to arrive at today, the first day of the year, …
Season’s Greetings
It's approaching dusk on Christmas Eve 2022 here in the UK, and I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and to assure you of my prayers as the last days of 2022 give way to the first days of 2023. This year will have been tricky at times and it will have …
View From The PamCam
Today's view from the PamCam is a bit of an emotional one. It's nothing major, just the view of the main road near my house, but it's what it represents that makes it so emotional. You see, I have been in hospital for a little while and today was the first time I was able …
Words that say so much
I was introduced to this song today by my friend and colleague Eddie who was leading worship this morning. We were talking about Christ the King, and how his life and death and resurrection means that we are saved, and this song is just so beautiful and sums up everything Jesus is to me. I …
