Someone had not paid me money that was due when they normally pay straight away and I was concerned that I had upset them in some way or fallen short of their expectations. I phoned up the person concerned and asked how they were in general and we made some arrangements to modify the way we worked together. I said at...

Can you spare 60 seconds? – plus – Jesus’ real message.
A lovely way to start the day. A whole 60 seconds of video about LOVE (not lurve) is Jesus’ message misunderstood? As some of you know, I have regular conversations with my friend John who is one of the few people who are on my wavelength and he has been so over the decades.
