Over the past couple of weeks I have seen a couple of blog posts on various Christian websites attacking the bikini. Posts urging girls to avoid wearing bikinis when they go to the beach at the summer, as otherwise guys won’t be able to resist the temptation to lust. I want to take a different […]

Stuff Christians Like: Christian Put Down lines
I am single (inexplicably so, some might say…). I also like Christian pick-up lines. In my attempts to use them to resolve the singleness situation though I have run into something nasty – the Christian put-down line. A few weeks ago I got featured on the wildly popular Stuff Christians Like website with an article […]
My 9km angel in red
Last night I took part in a 10K race around my home town of Lisburn (I was doing it to raise funds to drill 2 boreholes to provide clean water for the people of Ibba, South Sudan). Before I signed up the furthest I had ran was about 5 kilometres, and I only signed up […]
What a friend we have in Jesus – Ghost Ship
There are some songs that a just classics that will always endure. One of those is “What a friend we have in Jesus”. Ghost Ship have just released a new version of it that gives it a nu-folk-rock vibe, kind of like how Mumford & Sons would probably do it if they weren’t afraid to […]

She is a songwriter who is heavily involved with the International House of Prayer, and she writes incredible, chilling worship songs that really powerfully speak God’s voice into your heart. One of my all time favourite songs is a spontaneous […]
Help us raise £4000 for clean water in South Sudan
Every day I like to drink a lot of water – so much so that one doctor has told me I drink too much water, but no harm has come from it yet. However for the people of South Sudan even drinking a little water puts them at huge risk of harm. My church (St […]
Replica jerseys, righteous deeds and menstrual rags
Last weekend I was down in Dublin to watch the mighty Ulster rugby team take part in the Pro12 Final, which they narrowly lost. (NB for American readers – rugby is like American Football only played by real men and the Pro12 Final is like your Superbowl final, only without the continual pauses for ad […]
