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 am with you and will watch over you wherever you go” (Genesis 28:15)
Everything is going up. It’s in the news every day. Energy prices are going up. Petrol and diesel costs are going up. Food prices are going up. Taxes are going up. Inflation is increasing. Childcare costs are going up. Is there anything at all that is not going up ? Yes, there is. The grace…
I was interested to read William Glasse’s TFTD a few weeks back on the verses from Micah 6:8 “what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” William’s thoughts took me back to the time I spent in court – my first time on jury…
If you have ever considered the idea of taking up either surfing, or wind surfing, I thought that you might appreciate a bit of advice before investing in a board, wet suit and all the gear you will need. Not that I have even touched a surfboard in my entire life, nor am ever likely…

In fact, his last letter was to William Wilberforce MP on 24th February 1791, just six days before he died. At that time,…
I grew up within an hour’s drive of ‘Big Ben’. Before the days of congestion charging or any proper understanding of the damage done by pollution caused by internal combustion engines, we used to go by car to concerts in London. It took about an hour to get to the Royal Festival Hall and just…
Recently our preacher was talking about parables in the Bible and how they contain truths about God in an interesting and relatable way. Jesus often used parables to teach us about the Kingdom of God and I was reminded about this one especially as I have a great friend who is wonderful quilter. THE QUILTAs…
Do you ever find you have a hymn or song running through your mind for no apparent reason? In the last week I cannot get out of my mind: Through all the changing scenes of life, In trouble and in joy, The praises of my God shall still My heart and tongue employ. It’s not…
I was recently walking through the back lanes of Fowey, in Cornwall, when I came across this house sign. The house was called “Toad’s place” and there was an illustration above it of Ratty and Mole in a rowing boat. Ratty is rowing while Mole sits back gazing up into the air as a dragonfly…
One of my criticisms about the twenty-first century is that we seem to believe that it is honourable to fill every minute of every day with work. I keep hearing people bragging about how hard they work, and I guess that I am guilty of doing the same myself. If I am being honest, I…
