Kids’ Contrasts
The giraffe is tall, the fly is small, the sun gives light – so it’s dark at night. The snail is slow – but watch the cars go – fast! – keep away!...

Ignoring God when life is easy
[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] It is so easy not to bother when life is pleasant, easy, not give a thought at all to wonder ‘Is there a God … But when a tragedy comes sweeping … why do so many turn to blaming the God they’d been denying? …

My mother-in-law, nearly 95, has had no real contact with hearing/seeing the news for a long time. She read something brief recently, and commented, 'who would have thought in this day and age'. I was quite taken aback, realising she had...
