** NEW YEAR 2012 ** As we enter the New Year, the ministry of this website is at a crossroads.  Personal circumstances mean that I cannot now give the time I have previously given to writing and maintaining this site, moreover, I am having problems with the software I originally used to write the site.  So I must make significant changes NOW, to enable the work of this site to continue

** PERSONAL NEWS ** My father died on 3rd January after a difficult few months of illness and falls.  We are consoled by his faith, by which we trust he has been saved through the grace of God, and we have been deeply touched by the messages of support we have received.  Please pray for my mother, who now has to find her way in life as a widow, though she stands in  the love of Christ.

** NEWS ** Problems with the website-generating software I use mean that I must now split the site into several  related by smaller sites.  I am taking the opportunity to introduce to the site a number of new features that you will discover when you log on to the new site in early February. The basic site will remain the same, but it will appear better and give you far more!

** FAITH ** I know that many of you who use my site live by faith and trust that God will lead you.  I have now to ask you to trust that this site will return in several weeks time, fit for what the Lord would do with it in the coming years.  I am amazed that so many people have used the site since it was started in 2005, and by the grace of God, the new one will serve for even longer
