I salute and applaud the committed few. When certain initiatives begin with the hype and excitement it can draw a crowd. People get caught up with promises of great benefits if they subscribe, participate and contribute. That all sounds good at the start. There’s also the appeal because there’s a crowd, so it must be […]
Read More Talk About The Committed FewMy mentor mentioned the fact that this coming October would see the 500th anniversary of a significant moment in the Christian religion. For the first 18 years of my life, despite being brought up in a church environment, I had absolutely no idea what the Reformation was about. It was never talked about in any […]
Read More Talk About A ReformationWhat keeps me going among other than is what I am going towards. It’s like no matter how many times I read or hear of being a new creation in Christ and the old passed away and the new has come and the new heavens and earth and the New Jerusalem – the newness of […]
Read More … To The NewThe old way wasn’t working. On the contrary, it was counterproductive in every way. What was supposed to be a help turned out to be a massive hindrance. Suffocating and stifling any hope of life, love and joy. Something had to be done. The invitation was given to go the new way. That invitation was […]

Read More Untapped No LongerIt’s funny how I remember some things. The other day I was reflecting on the account of creation in Genesis. I love contemplating on that beautiful account of God and the world we live in. I was thinking of lessons to learn from the account, like things starting in a mess but ending up very […]
Read More Looking Back, Going ForwardIt was one of those days. One friend had the link to help with starting projects. Later on another friend supplied some outlines that I could follow to succeed in the project. Hours elapsed and another friend offered outstanding insight on equipment that could be used to deliver on the project. Then as if that […]
Read More Remarkably ResourcefulAthletics? Nah. I used to run a bit at school, but in my younger years. Then I got to the stage where I didn’t like running so much. I much prefer walking. As for watching athletics, it was one of the few things my Dad would watch on TV. So I watched races and was […]
Read More Run to Win but not be DisqualifiedThere was this interview that just felt flat. One of the key reasons why it felt so flat was that as engaging as the subject of the interview was, the person asking the questions sounded so dry, stilted and stale. It was great credit to the person being asked that the answers given were so […]
