    Movie Club

    Like many I prefer the more cleaner films. However, have a weakness for some horror films. But, the ones I tend to like are early Brit or US comedies, horror/monster films made between the 30's and 70's. They use innuendo or the double entendre without actually cursing. For example 'Carry On...'...

    Some people are just incredibly nasty and mean

    I am looking at this as an outsider. my wife and I watch our political scene and the political scene in the United States. I was never keen on the way he treated others, especially his attitude to different races and women. His rudeness to his allies around the world and sucking up to enemies...

    Been a away from CF for a short time. Had a few problems and busy at the same time. A while back I had a growth on my left ear, originally the doctors were going to freeze the growth off, but they decided that it was too big so surgery was required. This was done and growth was then sent off for...

    I went for a bus ride into town yesterday, but it has only just dawned on me how blessed my wife and I are when we we were guided to move to these beautiful islands 30 years ago. We left England July '90 and have never looked back.

    Age old question...Christmas

    The reason why we celebrate Our Lord's birthday on 25th December is irrelevent, the fact that we we remember His birth and use a day to do it is the reason, but also should we not celebrate His birth in our hearts everyday, remember His Sacrifice every day. He was born and He died for us...

    Was Jesus Christ a Socialist?

    Forgetting what the earthly dictionary explanation of socialism and instead do what Our Lord told us to do - feed the hungry, cloth the naked, love the unloved putting others before self, then I would say Our Lord and those that follow Him and is commandments are socialists - Heavenly Socialists.

    Should I volunteer in a local Church?

    Yes, if that's what you feel you are called to do. You will be serving God and serving the community of the church.

    JESUS Paid It All

    The problem with people is that they can't take in the the enormity of it. The sacrifice of one gave us all the pathway to eternity by taking upon shoulders the weight of the sinners of this world, not only for then or now but for as long as there are people on this planet. And that is a true...

    Denying Yourself

    To me, it means following the words of Jesus, love God and love your neighbour as yourself. It may sound simple on paper but as anyone will tell you it's not easy and this is where prayer comes in. Even Our Saviour knows it's not easy, remember when he was angry with the money changers, but...

    A promise to God. When it is valid?

    In all honesty you can't make a deal with in that way. Many have done it, even me "God if You .... I wll" etc. What we often forget is that God already knows what you need, so we don't need to bargain, and He knows well in advance if we are going to keep the bargain. I often think that it's...

    Is COVID Harmful?

    I get the idea that one thing can lead to another and snowball from simple to sinister. BUT this is pure speculation. So, be a Christian and think of others, wear a mask, pray and not worry about something that may or may not happen.

    Giving too much.

    There are many ways of giving, not always with money, after all not everybody can give vasts amounts of cash and in a lot of cases these days small amounts. But when it comes to money have a budget, put aside what you truly can afford, not what others expect. God does not want you to go without...
