Good Friday Witness
A little snippet of our united churches Good Friday walk of witness and open air. The baptist pastor (carrying the cross) and I arranged the event…the first ever to have happened in Caithness apparently! There was a howling gale blowing, as you might be able to tell, but we’re used to that in Caithness. We … More Good Friday Witness
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!
High School ministry
We’ve been praying for months for their to be an opening in our local High School. Serving around 1000 pupils, its the only high school in the town. The links so far have been tenuous. Out of the blue (or as a result of prayer….take your pick) we get a phonecall last week asking if … More High School ministry

You have … More The Uni T
On Covenant and Officership…
I reckon that most people who know me well would know that I am very unlikely to resign as a Salvation Army officer. There are tonnes of reasons for this. This posting also offers some added info to the last post because I’m picking up that people are perhaps getting unclear messages from my cryptic … More On Covenant and Officership…
Breaking the Blog Silence
So, the blog has been a bit quiet. I’m having a time of working through a few things in relation to my calling and how it is working itself out. This is about me and the Army as it is, and the Army I’m convinced I’m called to ‘call forth.’ I have been fearing that, … More Breaking the Blog Silence
