My first anthology of poems, ’Fifty Shades of Beige’ was a wry and affectionate look at retirement. As I approach my three score years and ten in May 2024 this second collection looks back through my life from childhood to retirement. For those who have gone from sherbet to sherry, British Bulldogs to Bridge Club, the Rolling Stones to... well, the Rolling Stones, ’Seventy Shades of Age’ will evoke many memories and, hopefully, amuse.

    David Mitchell
    A phrase we often use when describing ourselves is 'I am.'For many, when we look at ourselves and describe what we see, it is not what God intends. We see ourselves through the lens of the way life has shaped us rather than the vison God has of us. We need the corrective lens of God’s word guided by His Holy Spirit to correct our vision. You might ask, 'What would be different ...
