A little late – here is the monthly round up of the best of the interwebs (What I’m into will follow at the weekend): Sarah Bessey – in which I know, I’m sorry, and I hope I was kind. When I grow up, I wanna be just like Sarah Bessey – and this is […]
Podcast: my interview with Donald McAllister
6th June, 2013 8
After my piece for Prodigal magazine, Donald McAllister asked me to interview me for his podcast site, Bibledoing.com We conducted the interview over Skype, which I still view as something quite magical.

Rod and staff: strange comfort
5th June, 2013 48
This is the fourth week of an M.E. relapse, which means I am more isolated than usual, needing to spend even more time in bed, in silence. I am an extrovert. I find that when I’m with people, I have more thoughts and ideas, more motivation and excitement to write and learn, than when I […]

17th May, 2013 9
“I know the story I am supposed to tell. I am suppose to tell the story of my miraculous healing…” Not many people know that I have a story of miraculous healing. I am VERY excited to be telling my story in Prodigal today – both of my miraculous healing and my not being healed. […]

Last week I went on an Internet fast. It was meant to be like a silent retreat so I could focus on writing, away from the many voices on social media. I was looking forward to working on my M.E. book, and being productive. But last week I found myself slipping into worsening health. […]
