In reflecting on Handel’s Messiah, Joseph E. McCabe wrote:
“Never again are we to look at the stars, as we did when we were children, and wonder how far it is to God. A being outside our world would be a spectator, looking on but taking no part in this life, where we try to be brave despite all

The other week as I was entering the front entrance of my home a foul smell became very evident to me – I knew what it was immediately as it wasn’t the first time, my drains were blocked! You see were an end terrace and our corner house not only serves our own home when it comes to the drains,

Mary and I love animals. We have a little Chihuahua named Duke. When he’s hungry, we feed him; when he’s cold, we warm him; and when he’s scared, we comfort him.
He knows it, and constantly searches for us. If we leave him for any period of time, he cries for us, and when we return he stops
