| S04E098, Peace Trumps Fear, Andy B 2 Minute Video | The UK has seen a terrifying increase in costs for heating and cooking. In the middle of summer, heating seems like something to not worry about.

| S04E090, T Cutting Out The Good, Andy B 2 Minute Video | Good things and bad things. They make up our lives! And it’s easy to want to forget about the bad things, especially those mistakes we made that we don’t want anybody else to ever know about.

| S04E084, Andy B 2 Minute Video, Good Struggles | Life can be full of struggles. Some can be good – like the effort needed to build muscle in a gym.

| S04E074, Half and Half, Andy B 2 Minute Video | In the garden, to one side of our home, sits a bush. It has the most stunning, beautiful, purple flowers, that literally can take your breath away, such is the colour. But that’s only half the story. Because the other half of this same bush is looking rat

| S04E080, Get a second opinion! Andy B 2 Minute Video | While filming some new material I made one small mistake, and gave one file the wrong title. When looking through the files on the computer later, I realised it had caused a whole bunch of files to now appear to be incorrectly labelled.

| S04E063, Record Players and Joy, Andy B 2 Minute Video | Music. It can move in pretty amazing ways, and God designed, and hand made us, to be able to enjoy music.

| S04E062, New Life needs the Old, Andy B 2 Minute Video | A friend in the US sent me a photo from her garden. And it struck me just how much the old vegetation had protected the new flowers growing, because the old had literally covered over the new, during the winter.

| S04E059, Jesus’ Virtual Ministry, Andy B 2 Minute Video | A cup of tea with a friend can be a great way of spending our time! Talking to someone, seeing the reaction on their face as we say something, helps steer the conversation. It is invaluable feedback to deepen the relationship.

| S04E056, What’s Gone Has Gone, Andy B 2 Minute Video | Time. The one sure thing we can be certain of is that time cares not for how we’re doing. It doesn’t go faster when we need it to. And no matter how much we will it, it won’t slow down either.
Times marches ever on!

| S04E053, Be Led, Not Driven! Andy B 2 Minute Video | While chatting with a friend this morning, I was struck by the ease with which we can be driven along by life, when we really should be resisting that pressure, and being led instead.
Sure, there can be life issues which pop up in front of us, which we

| S04E052, Tuck and Roll! Andy B 2 Minute Video | With life it often seems like we have just two choices to make - wrap ourselves in plastic bubble wrap to protect us from falls and pain. Or we can wear a crash helmet and keep charging on!
Actually, I think there is a third option – a little bit of bu

| S04E045, What Time Is It? Andy B 2 Minute Video | Being able to tell the time is a benchmark in our family. As each of our children has learned to tell the time, on an analogue clock, they get their first wrist watch - and a special trip with Dad to go pick out their very first wristwatch.

| S04E042, We All Need A Friend, Andy B 2 Minute Video | It’s so encouraging when we can advise someone, or help them, and see a burden lifted from their shoulders.
It could be as simple as lending someone a phone, or giving them a life. Perhaps we take them a meal or two when they’re ill, or even just movin

| S04E041, Resting Is Proactive! Andy B 2 Minute Video | We love accomplishing things. Perhaps, like me, you use a digital To Do List. It is immensely satisfying clicking that little tick box, and having the satisfaction of having accomplished something else.

| S04E025, Tables, Chairs, Faith and Decision Making, Andy B 2 Minute Video | Life can be full of challenges!
Sometimes it is the difficulty of making, what should be, a really simple decision. But, with age, comes wisdom. And with wisdom comes arrogance. Without God’s intervention, we’d be doing life on our own. Wait, don’t we
