Graeme Murray has been active in Christian ministry for over 30 years, beginning initially with local church and youth work. Over the years, this developed into quite an extensive speaking ministry, until in 1997 he became a ‘full-time’ evangelist with Counties, specifically in his home county of Cumbria. Graeme then relocated to the North East to take up a full-time youth pastorate, before moving into educational outreach, where he supported over 50 schools in the North East with assemblies and RE lessons. In 2005, Graeme was appointed to the position of Head of Divinity at Grindon Hall Christian School in Sunderland. After 17 years away, he moved back to his native Cumbria, where he has been developing his evangelistic ministry. In December 2016, Graeme became the Chaplain at Gretna FC 2008 in the Scottish Lowland League, through Sports Chaplaincy UK. In addition to speaking at churches in Cumbria area and beyond, he has also started to visit local schools and has begun to conduct marriage services in the Gretna area. Graeme has a Batchelor and a Masters degree in Biblical studies, a Master of Education degree, Qualified Teacher Status, and a Diploma in Christian Leadership.

A worthwhile reminder to end the week on a note of gratitude, whatever else we may have been through over the past few days, or what may be awaiting us over the next few.

Have a great day, everyone! 🙂

The marriage of Jacqueline and Richard was another very special occasion that I was privileged to be part of when I took their service in The Elopement Marriage Room at The Old Blacksmiths toward the end of July. This lovely couple came by themselves from Suffolk to Gretna Green to have a very private and personal wedding service, which was officially witnessed by Iona and Richard from the host team at The Blacksmiths. Richard also performed a traditional handfasting for the happy couple as part of the service, and the wedding photographer was Bill Black Photography. Wishing Jacqueline and Richard every blessing in their marriage.

Rocko was the latest addition to my Gretna Green doggie wedding family when he was part of the guest list at a wedding service I took at the Blacksmiths this afternoon.

He was perfectly behaved throughout, and a thoroughly friendly and cuddly little fella, complete in with his tartan bow tie! 🐕❤️🎊

Keeping our own limitations in mind helps us to avoid the pitfall of developing an extreme sense of self-sufficiency, and it also helps us to nurture an attitude of humility that God desires of us. Ultimately, our sufficiency is of him, as the apostle Paul emphasised to the believers at Corinth:

"Such confidence we have through Christ
before God. Not that we are competent
in ourselves to claim anything for
ourselves, but our competence comes
from God."
(2 Corinthians 3:4,5)

The more we acknowledge this, the greater sense of assurance and peace we will experience in any and every instance.

Have a great day, everyone! 🙂

It was my privilege to take the marriage service of Jacqui and Paul at The Old Blacksmiths at Gretna Green back in July. This lovely couple came from County Durham to have their special day at Gretna Green, and they were joined by a number of guests who came to celebrate the special occasion with them. Jacqui was escorted into the service and formally given away by her uncle Alan, and Paul was supported by Wayne as his best man. Thank you also to Marc and Sarah, who both officially witnessed the marriage. Iona from the host team at The Blacksmiths performed a traditional handfasting as part of the service, and the happy couple were played in and out by Craig Irving, Scottish Piper. Wishing Jacqui and Paul every blessing in their marriage.

I will freely admit that this can be one of the hardest lessons for me to apply. By nature, I am the kind of person who just likes to press on and get things done, but there are times when we simply need to lean on God's everlasting arms and trust Him to work things out. He may well show us what we need to do in given situations, but it should always begin with us trusting in Him so that He gets the glory, instead of us trying to claim it for ourselves.

History is full of people who have testified to God's sustaining grace, and we can add to that number if we truly trust in His sustaining power and divine guidance.

Have a great day, everyone! 🙂

It was congratulations to Sue-Ling and Joseph when they were married in The Original Marriage Room at The Old Blacksmiths back in July. This lovely couple came from the northeast to have a very private and personal service at Gretna Green, which was officially witnessed by Joanne and Isoble from the host team at The Blacksmiths. It was my privilege to take the service; David Borthwick was the wedding photographer; and the happy couple were played in and out of the service by Craig Irving, Scottish Piper. Wishing Sue-Ling and Joseph every blessing in their marriage.

The Lord may not remove the obstacles from our lives, or He may not take us out of tough situations that we find ourselves in, but we can stand in the assurance of His Word that He is with us as we face them, and that He will give us His strength and resolve that we may stand firm throughout.

Have a great day, everyone! 🙂
