The very thought of living without words is weird to me. That which I visualise and capture aurally I only know to express through the method of words. Spoken and written, read and heard, rich though the textures of life are beyond words, there is something powerful about the exercising of words. I was sitting […]
Read More December Thanks #05: WordsIt occurred to me again recently that there’s an order to things where I am concerned. I am a writer because I am a reader. If I didn’t read I wouldn’t be as curious and desirous to express myself in writing. In a similar way, I am only ever much of a teacher because I […]
Read More December Thanks #04: LearningThree minute theology. Why did no one tell me?! I am engrossed in a Bible Study with friends about Joshua and we are at a point where Joshua instructs the people to consecrate themselves. When searching about it, I came across this. Love it.

Hearing the East Jordan tribes suggest that they would commit to the cause they were called to and encouraging Joshua to do what he needed […]
Read More Confronting the Challenge of the Community Commitment to ChangeBlessed. What a word. What a thought behind the word. What a delight in the thought behind the word. The more I consider the word, the more I appreciate it as a relational thing. Someone blesses me – that says something about the person and their connection to me. Being blessed is no even so […]
Read More December Thanks #01: FamilyThere are few things more worthwhile than reading and growing in understanding the Bible. Of late I’ve recognised it can be easy to get caught up with other material on related topics without returning to the source. Yet there is a joy in returning to what the Bible depicts. There’s one book in particular that […]
Read More Something About JoshuaI came across this and thought it would be a great way to end 2016 by embarking on this intentional challenge of daily thanksgiving. With a blog that I write on virtually every day then there’s somewhere for me to share that challenge. So from tomorrow expect 30 days of thanksgiving. Feel free to join […]
