I have been a committed follower of Jesus for many years and love to write about subjects close to my heart. I recently spent a year attending the School of Ministry at Catch the Fire Church, Toronto, after several years of studying at University and working in a secular job in the UK.

A pebble falls disturbing calm waters current A rippling cacophony it creates, of sloshing water’s torrent But once again stillness descends chasing disturbance asunder The waters a million shards of liquid glass a sight to behold and wonder A quiet holiness descends as still waters to my soul return A quiet symphony of joy at … More Stillness (Poem)
