Mother Teresa said, ‘Not everyone can do great acts. But everyone can do small acts of great kindness.’ I would hazard a guess that, should anyone notice when I pop my clogs, they will be tempted to point at the medical centre, or the hospital…
Ach this is hard! In 10 days time I will be leaving Uganda for a few months – and I am reminded every day of how much I love the work that we are doing here. Which will continue unabated in my absence but which…
From Isaiah 30:15 – ‘Only by returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength.’ Two weeks ago (or was it three?) I wrote about the issues facing J10:10, about the choices that I had to…
