Every day we post a Thought for the day written by someone within the circuit. Some are very light hearted and some are very deep theologically with all bases between covered.
We hope these will encourage, uplift and make you reflect but most of all we hope you enjoy reading these small daily snippets and take some inspiration on your daily journey

I thank God that every so often I come across a person that most would condemn as being eccentric, a bit of a weirdo, somebody to be laughed at. I first came across John Burkhill when we were on holiday in Yorkshire last summer, he featured on the Yorkshire Television magazine show Calendar and at…
