About Me

My Space or Yours? Myspace Layouts and more at myspaceoryours.net!

My son says that I am a political campaigner, which I won't argue with. I didn't do enough of it when I was his age, and I'm trying to make up for it now. As a Voluntary Campaign Promoter for TEARFUND, I focus most of my attention on Trade and Environmental issues. You can see from my factual data that I'm married and a Christian - what you can't tell is that both my teenage children and my wife are also Christians. 'Christian - other' is a good description of my faith. I have epilepsy, which together with local brain damage which I got in a road accident lead to my early retirement on medical grounds. I could easily have died, but it seems God had other ideas.
