One Small Cogwheel: June 2011
http://onesmallcogwheel.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Just one small cogwheel. but still valued in God's design! I Refuse To Go Quietly! Thursday, 23 June 2011. His eye is on the sparrow.and me! In all the world, God has His eye on each one of us. Although each relationship is different, to Him each one of is unique - it's as if we are His only focus. That blows me away - that the Lord of all creation is 'obsessed' with ME (and you, and YOU! Recalling a song by Casting Crowns reminded me of this fact - listen to the words and you'll see why! I haven’t...

One Small Cogwheel: 'IN' the world...but not 'OF' it!
http://onesmallcogwheel.blogspot.com/2012/11/in-worldbut-not-of-it.html
Just one small cogwheel. but still valued in God's design! I Refuse To Go Quietly! Tuesday, 20 November 2012. IN' the world.but not 'OF' it! Looking at my bookshelves on the stairs this morning, I was amused to see the higgledy-piggledy order they were in. I nearly went back into library-assistant mode (my previous occupation) to sort them into fiction and non-fiction, then subsequently to sort out the non-fiction into their categories - sport, craft, Christian. How sad. How judgemental. It's som...If we...

One Small Cogwheel: October 2012
http://onesmallcogwheel.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Just one small cogwheel. but still valued in God's design! I Refuse To Go Quietly! Thursday, 11 October 2012. MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS? Ever since Eve bit into the fruit, her sisters throughout history have been paying the penalty! First off, I'm not a raging feminist, but I cannot for the life of me see why genitalia should determine a person’s ability (or not) to have authority in church circles – surely an anointing of God is in His gift to bestow, regardless of gender? Consider Deborah. It was left...

One Small Cogwheel: February 2013
http://onesmallcogwheel.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Just one small cogwheel. but still valued in God's design! I Refuse To Go Quietly! Sunday, 10 February 2013. It's been some time since I last added anything to this blog, even though I've often meant to! The last few months have been a little unsettled as I've been at odds with the church fellowship I've been attending for over a decade. Something about the direction the church was going didn't sit 'right' with me - or maybe it was just a 'times and seasons' thing - so Hubby (of the same mind as me!

One Small Cogwheel: March 2013
http://onesmallcogwheel.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Just one small cogwheel. but still valued in God's design! I Refuse To Go Quietly! Thursday, 28 March 2013. Why this Friday is Good. A short piece I wrote for a flash-fiction challenge a couple of years ago - but still pertinent to this particular date. I hope it still provokes thought and reflection. Despite the pain I’m in it’s strange, but I can feel the cold. Like when you sweat and feel that coolness on your skin as it evaporates. It could have been so different. But this is all part of the plan...

One Small Cogwheel: Don't tell me - show me!
http://onesmallcogwheel.blogspot.com/2013/10/dont-tell-me-show-me.html
Just one small cogwheel. but still valued in God's design! I Refuse To Go Quietly! Thursday, 3 October 2013. Don't tell me - show me! It's such a long time since I posted anything here, you'd think I'd abandoned it! Something I came across recently concerned faith and action. It was a quote in a magazine: "Don't tell me about your god with your words. Show me about your god with your actions.". Steve Maraboli 'Life, Truth and Being Free.'). Now, at last, I'm hoping to start volunteering with a. For a num...

One Small Cogwheel: July 2011
http://onesmallcogwheel.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Just one small cogwheel. but still valued in God's design! I Refuse To Go Quietly! Thursday, 7 July 2011. You're at a party or some other gathering (even having coffee after the morning church service! And you get introduced to someone new. After the initial pleasantries and exchanging names, the conversation almost inevitably gets down to the nitty-gritty - ".so, Tom (Jane/Barbara/etc.) what do you do. We all do it, be honest! But why should what someone does. To put it in a nutshell, our goal, clearly,...
