During Hitler’s fire-bombing blitz on London during World War II my family were bombed out of their home and they moved to a council estate in Dagenham, where I was born. Down the road lived Twiggy, the world famous fashion model, and round the corner was the comedian Dudley Moore. Terry Venables, who became a well known football manager, was “one of the boys”.
My family were not Christians and I grew up being told that “seeing is believing”. So anything relating to God or the supernatural was not part of our worldview. Some years later when I became a Christian, it never dawned on me that the Bible was telling me something quite different. I assumed that when Jesus walked on water there must have been a sand bar under His feet.

When He fed the 5,000, the loaves and fishes must have provoked the people to get out their sandwiches. When He restored sight to the blind, well, I never worked that one out and I never thought the day would come when I would receive a miracle. I was serving as a Platoon Commander in Northern Ireland in the early 1970s during the time of the “Troubles” when the Irish Republican Army (IRA) was endeavouring by force of terrorism to have the six Northern Counties reunited with the rest of Ireland. Two-thirds of the people didn’t want reunification and so the terrorism with its bombings, snipers, petrol bombs, sectarian murders, kneecappings and bloodshed continued.
The Royal Air Force Regiment had been deployed in Northern Ireland as part of the peacekeeping forces for some years and this was my third tour of duty there.
I was now responsible for the security of the Walled City of Londonderry. It was early March, the weather was cold and damp, but I felt no sympathy for my men who were on the streets providing mobile and standing patrols. They searched cars and pedestrians alike, looking for weapons and explosives, whilst all the time running the risk of sniper fire, petrol bombs and stone-throwing mobs. They were on duty twelve to fourteen hours a day in all weathers and stoically did everything that was asked of them. Saturday morning dawned fine and clear. The city was in the process of coming to life, shops were starting to open, people were beginning to move around, and then the bombs started to explode. By the time the third bomb had detonated and three buildings had been destroyed, leaving a number of casualties, I realised the IRA were targeting my sector and were looking to give us a real
The Breakers basketball team is the most
successful NZ franchise to ever participate
in any Australian league. At the heart of that
success is Calvin Thomas Bruton Jr, also
known as CJ.
Many people take sport
very seriously, but is it
often a matter of life and
death? That’s the question
that confronted CJ when
an armed robber pointed
a pistol at his face! Before
CJ arrived in Venezuela, a
soccer player had been shot
in the leg, so he was advised
to remain as inconspicuous
as possible. “How can I do
that when I’m carrying three suitcases?” he thought.
As CJ left the airport terminal, he was met by his
driver and then a car pulled up alongside. The driver
jumped out holding a gun. Another robber jumped
out of the back seat. The boot popped open and a
third man climbed out of there! They grabbed
CJ’s suitcases and other bags, then when one
robber stepped forward to try and frisk him,
CJ slapped his hands away. That’s when the
robber pointed a pistol at his face and started
shouting. CJ’s driver was shouting back. Then
the robbers jumped in
the car and sped
away. CJ was left
shaken, and with
only $200 and his
driver’s licence in
his back pocket.
His passport and
everything else had
been stolen.
They made their
way to the hotel
and the car entered the grounds through
heavily locked gates. CJ’s wife Jessica had
planned to join him, so he phoned her and
told her not to come.
That night he went for a walk in the area
around the hotel. He thought, “I’ve got
nothing left to get stolen anyway.” As he
walked the streets, he saw poor people
everywhere. The thought came to him
that the thieves had taken his stuff to
survive. The team owner flew in later
and told CJ that he had been the
90th person to be robbed that
day. He was in Venezuela to play
a series of four games. The
series outcome depended
on the last game. Before
the game, someone told
him, don’t eat the food
in the hotel, but he was
hungry and went ahead
and ate. The food was
poisoned, but the next
day CJ still played and won
anyway. The owner gave him a bag
of cash in
