Met an older wiser guy this week who asked me my story. I told him of my life through work and family and church. He saw the intervention of God in my life. Not because of great success but because of honest authentic living. Made me feel grateful to be me. It seems that all [...]

Heavy snow fell yesterday and not forecasted for us. We hire a school for church and it’s approached by a scenic country lane into a park but today is was not passable due to the snow. I cancelled the service and for a day everything stopped everything stood still for me.
Sometimes the only remedy for [...]

When I’m honest about what’s going on in my days, the way I’m living and spending my moments, you shine a light into whatever is dark or entangling me and you show me the way through. Without my reflective journal I would never know such things. Instead I am foundbyGod.

Over 800 people have now visited FoundbyGod and more than 4000 pages have been read.
In the new year I’m going to produce a booklet of ‘A year of being FoundbyGod’
The idea is that I will collate all the entries for the previous year and produce a weekly reader whereby every week for a year, two [...]

The first thing they agree on is that time spent in silence on a daily basis, even short times of say 10 minutes, has a massive positive effect on psychological health, stress, anxiety, worry, fear, happiness, peace, self confidence and attitude that [...]

I read in the newspaper that if you spend your time dreaming about the future, the things to come, then you are likely to become bored first and then anxious. However if you spend your time thinking about now, today, this week, this moment, then you are more likely to be relaxed, happy and interested.
It’s [...]

Here I am again. That same old place. When I am open and available to relate to people the world is a better place. But there is always someone who abuses the openness. Someone who takes without giving and then manipulates, intimidates and acuses. And sometimes its close friends. Surely the answer can’t be to [...]

Autumn continues to evoke a response in me. I feel called by the falling of the leaves to let go and keep letting go of the past. The good and the bad. The trees seem lucky to be leafless unburdoned of their seasons work. I catch a glimpse of the freedom of such a release [...]

Today I understand that I am limited. There are limits to what I can do, what I can achieve. I’m giving myself the freedom to live within those limits, being the person that I am and no other. A whole new economy opens up in my thinking. Much of what has been achieved in my [...]

Autumn always encounters me. It’s the dramatic visual change in the leaves from green to gold and then gone. Over the last three days the leaves around here have just gone.
It’s as if the trees respond slowly but faithfully to the call to change to be ready for the next season. They let go of [...]
