After a packed itinerary this morning and afternoon, I went home with the intention of doing some work. Now I seldom, if never, bring my work home, because I believe that if I organise my time properly there’d be no such need to do so. This time, however, I thought I’d better make an exception …
I’m listening to Larry King’s CNN talkshow at the moment. The topic? Angels. We have guests Max Lucado, author of a book ‘Next Door Savior’, Father Michael Manning, Syvlia Browne, who is an authority on angels, and Mattie Stepanek, a young boy who is ‘battling incurable illness’.

What was the verdict on couples living with each other before getting married? And what about homosexuality? …
If you’ve noticed, I’ve altered the name of one of my favourite bands, to express what came to my mind – after attending my introductory Alpha course at St George’s church this evening.
