My name is Pat Jones and I have lived in a lovely village at the foot of towering mountains, for the past l8 years.

The surrounding ranges are always a delight to see after being away for any length of time.

I attend the Presbyterian church where I occasionally am asked to preach.

I have been writing short articles for many years, mainly for social clubs and churches and in l991, I was invited to be one of the original writers for the Just A Minute team. I was pleased to do this as it gave me an opportunity to share what I believe as a Christian.

I find most of my ideas for articles come from daily happenings in my life and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I manage to put my thoughts together to produce an article that is hopefully uplifting to the daily life of my readers.

God gives everybody some kind of gift - be it hospitality, hand crafting, cooking or writing. I cannot cook, but as writing comes easily to me I guess it is my gift and I enjoy using it to glorify my Saviour Jesus Christ.

Finally from one of my favorite Christian writers, Charles H. Spurgeon, I share his comments on the gifts God gives each one of us:

"We have latent talents and dormant faculties that are brought to light by exercise".

If the reader is challenged by these words, that I believe is a good thing; and I pray you might be challenged to check for your own gift and how it can be used for the glory of God.
