I sometimes want to ‘fast forward’ life and get to what I want to happen. But life isn’t like that and much of our life is spent waiting. So I have been thinking recently about waiting on God. Advent is a time of waiting as we look towards celebrating Christmas. Yet even as we celebrate Christmas and then Epiphany, we are still

Please click below for a printable copy of the magazine: Flags, flags and more flags On my return from holiday I was greeted with a hero’s welcome: all these flags run up the lamp posts for my return. Of course, I know they were not for me, they were not a welcome home. No, they were a message that said, ‘You are not welcome – go home’. I have spent some time thinking about what I am proud of about this nation, as well as those aspects that bring shame and embarrassment.
