I think it is natural, in January, to PETER DIXON think of the past, and to ‘ponder’... hopefully without too much trepidation... what the future All types of Building & Repair work carried out might hold. ROOFING : FIREPLACES : PATIOS : EXTENSIONS If you are a Christian, the first story which the church gives you to think about in 016974 72611 OR 07557 098 684 January, is the one about the three kings, or wise men, and their search for a new type of King. This story is actually great for the start of the year, because it reminds us that life is a journey. Famously, the kings, or wise men, left behind everything they knew at home, which (if you think about it) was a very risky thing to do! Somehow, these people found the faith to walk off west, in search of a better future. They were full of hope! And their hope was ‘realised’ in the most unlikely place, wasn’t it? They found God’s love, lying in a cave, on the wrong side of Bethlehem. But the journey did not stop there for the wise men. Their faith, and new found love, changed them forever, gave them hope, and propelled them forward, into a dangerous future... but full of courage.

When I see the fireworks go off on Sydney Bridge I admit that I do feel as if the years have merged together, and I wonder what is going on.... on so many levels!
