Anyone who has ever received a difficult diagnosis or known the heartbreak of watching a loved one die knows the agony of waiting. We wait for the results of the next test. We wait for the next treatment. We wait through symptoms, and reactions, and pain. We wait for a funeral, signaling our final severance […]

I am your strength and shield, your help in time of need. I am your Bread of Life; My Spirit intercedes As you wrestle with the forces that threaten you, And struggle just to make it through each day. I am here, call and I will answer The cry of your soul to My heart. […]

Be Still — GraceSpeak

We at the end of another week of lockdown here in the UK and still things feel really strange.

The video calls are still increasing on social media, and although Covid-19 is a serious concern at the moment, people are posting funny videos on social media.

Another thing that has become a regular thing over the last two weeks, is that that on a certain night at 8pm people go to their front door to thank the people of the National Health Service, and the people who are delivering food etc to those who can’t get out for their messages etc.

Five Truths King David Knew — GraceSpeak

It’s been about ten days since we in the UK went into lockdown.

By Monday I was getting pretty bored and found myself playing candy crush on Facebook.

On the plus side I have been able to do some video calls on Facebook, so much so I was on video chat for two and a half hours

You may or may not believe it but it also gave me the chance to file and tidy up my paper work.

I have to say I was still able to get my daily blogs out and go about my usual duties during the week.

I live in a street in a housing scheme where there is usually children running around, it seems strange not seeing them around, hardly anyone in the street,
