The thing is it is so silly. We made it in the first place. We harnessed materials and resources. We put them to innovative and creative use. We said they were going to make our lives better. We even saw merit in them initially, they had use and served a purpose. Then it got weird. […]
Read More Who Is Serving Who?This human experience is filled with ups and downs. People have such pleasant sides to them. Lovely smiles, warm welcomes, gestures of concern and interest, suitable arrangements and services if there’s a problem. It can look so well. Look what happens when there’s a massive disaster, consider the overflow of generosity in seeking to help. […]
Read More Why We Need His LoveWhat is delightful praise? It’s the natural reaction to consider just how good God is. It’s being with people who are not inhibited in any way from saying and displaying their joy at the almighty God. It’s witnessing what it is to turn our focus to God and saying what we see with a smile […]
Read More Delightful PraiseIt should be straightforward. The whole law hangs on two things – love God, love your neighbour. That’s pretty clear. Who’s your neighbour? Anyone you see who has a need.

Read More Thank God For Stevie WonderI was in this event recently and one of the speakers said something that is still profound. A problem starts when people prioritise what they do over who they are. When that happens there’s a tendency to be activity driven with a character deficit. The whole life existence involves both it is fundamental, however when […]
Read More Answering The Identity Question In A Snapshot of DavidAnthropomorphic. Lovely word. Describing the of applying human traits to non-human. Quite rightly we get criticised for conducting that exercise to almost everything, including beings that have no human connecting points. I wonder if we appreciate that rather than being guilty of looking at bringing down God often we miss who He is because He […]
Read More He Knows, He CaresIn my passion and excitement, sometimes I talk too fast. Over the years hanging about with people who talk for a living I have grown to really admire their ability to pace their talking. I don’t necessarily subscribe to the extended monologue, but I do note how people who talk can get their message across […]
Read More A Matter Of PacingI spent the evening with a tremendously humble and insightful man of God. This man is someone I truly admire and of late I have been able to spend some more time with him. As I have done this I find myself being the recipient to great blessing from a variety of angles. Some of […]
