HT: The Meta Picture Here’s something that’s always struck me as a bit bizarre. Why is death such a taboo subject? don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we glamorise it and turn it into a celebrity issue. (Though we’ve probably done that already when you consider the deaths of celebrities.) I am saying that […]
Read More Death: It’s InevitableWhich came first, the video or the thought? Sometimes I’ll watch a video and it will inspire a blog entry. Sometimes I’ll have a stream of thought and that will inspire a blog entry for which I’ll look for any related videos. This entry was the latter. The video is fascinating though for the concepts […]
Read More Why Work?Reading and listening and watching and observing I come across statements and phrases that are kinda the done thing to say in certain areas. So for example there’s this wonderful word called ‘proactive’ which people need to be to make progress in life – not reactive, but proactive. Then there is the business-speak possibly influenced […]
Read More The Sweet SpotMy youngest daughter bounded toward the child protection gate and jigged up and down with power and zest and the world’s most adorable smile. So full of life, so full of joy. That God would grant me an opportunity to see her grow was so marvellous to me. To see her as well as her […]
Read More A Little Reminder Of GraceI respect the writings of Alan Knox quite a bit. Some of his stuff gets me pondering the difference between what I’ve experienced in church life and what scripture points to. I don’t go on a rant and rave against expressions of church, I reflect on what was and consider what can be in the […]
Read More When I Think Of The Word: FellowshipResting in the grace of Jesus is one of the most reassuring things you can do. Genuinely resting. That is also one of the main things to do, funnily enough whilst serving. Giving to people of your physical, emotional and general relational well being can be hugely exhausting. You don’t want to cast pearls before […]
Read More What Can You Do?The motivation for this entry came whilst hearing a news report. I picked up that the Prime Minister David Cameron suggested that the deep problems in this country can be resolved by instilling morals and manners. Context is a wonderful thing and there have been those who do not think the Broken Britain mantra that […]
Read More Morals and Manners Are Not The AnswerNot a long one at all for today’s blog. Just a question to consider. What if church really was more as community than a congregation? For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More What If? Community Rather Than CongregationFor what it’s worth I am very grateful for the opportunity to write and share whatever is on my heart through this blog. The feedback I get is good because it is mixed. It is clear that some agree, some disagree and that is wonderful. Some challenge me to consider what views I share, others […]
Read More For What It’s WorthIt was a good morning. I was listening to a selection of songs as sung by Steve Green that I’d saved on me phone. Great songs like “God and God Alone”, “Kings Shall Bow”, “The Mission”, “People Need The Lord” and “I Will Serve The Lord”. The one song I didn’t have on me phone […]
