Looking For Happiness
Just finished picking the set of songs for my radio show later on today. I love this opportunity to get behind a microphone and share some music and tell stories and speak with my guests.
Today's guest is Stuart Murdoch the Baptist minister in the town. I think we'll have a bit of banter. It will be a great show. I hope that Lilias will also be able to join me as part of the production team. Lilias is really chatty and good at answering the emails that come in from...

Touching each other
People boxed in
No where to go

Sanctuary First happen tonight. We had a good response from those who attended. The theme was about the loose ends in all our lives. We talked about our personal burdens and we showed a clip from the film entitled "The Mission". we also showed the clip we put together last week entitled, "Secrets and Lies". See previous post.
Here's a taste of a song we put together to remind us of the call that Sanctuary first has on our lives. SANCTUARY FIRST
