And considering that we are free to make whichever choice we want, we should be very careful and use much wisdom, because most choices, good or bad, have far reaching consequences that we ...read more

    A short talk given on Mothering Sunday to a Church full of visitors, hence the gentle nature of the talk. God loves mothers, and he calls us to pass on the comfort that he gives to us.

In a poll conducted by a market research company it was discovered that the most unpopular four-letter words amongst mothers are ‘cook’, ‘wash’, ‘iron’; and my favourite of all: ‘dust’.
