My only weakness is, well, never mind

And you'll sleep, but they'll find you

Come back my dream into my arms, into my arms

London is drowning, and I live by the river

Were you and the children received through baptism or chrismation?

It would be great if you could tell us a bit about your journey (only if you feel comfortable), especially from the children's perspective :)

yes, please do, i'll get a cup of tea and sit down and listen!
and if anyone else wants to tell theirs, that's great too.

one day my wise (but not Christian) boss said 'i think you should visit the coptic church, you will like it'.
3 years later, i was a member  :)
