It was Christmas day 1978. The last words I heard my father say to me over the phone forty years ago this Christmas, was "I love you."

We are familiar with lots of people in one place so a trip to the north was a trip to the country side for us city dwellers. Our first stop was a visit with the mother of a lady from the Living Room Vineyard. She lived by herself... more

What are signs of the Kingdom of God touching earth? How do we recognize them and participate? In this 3 minute vlog I touch on this by looking at the prayer of Jesus in Matthew 6:10 and by retelling a recent experience I had travelling between Nepal and India.
