Here’s how it sometimes works for me. I will read a scripture. There will be thoughts that I’ll have on it and I’ll chew over it. Then I will listen to that same scripture being read – where pertinent listening to the dramatised version which has been a treat. Listening to it will perk up […]
Read More Growing in Knowing Involves a ChangeMy work colleague made me laugh. We were conversing about how we could do anything. Just not do it well. So anyone really can be a singer – that doesn’t mean they will sing well. Anyone can be a chef, but that doesn’t mean you’re in for a great cuisine experience. Anyone can build a […]
Read More Things Could Change(Yes there is a word in the dictionary – according to Oxford’s – called agitant! So there Mr Squiggly Line Under The Word.)

Read More You Don’t Have Because You Don’t AskWhen you’ve been oppressed by the superpower of the day. When they have taken umbrage at your efforts for liberation and sent their mighty forces to bring you back in. When all of this is upon you, it’s understandable that you can feel a little anxious. When you’ve been oppressed by financial and mental pressures […]

Read More Foundations: Rock or SandNewsflash – I love scripture. The recent reason for loving the Word is because of the relationship between Paul and Timothy.
