That’s Fresh

It was miraculous. There was this wedding reception that I had the privilege of attending. It was a truly miraculous reception. Historically I have attended the ones where those giving speeches don’t understand the concept of time and go awkwardly beyond the point of being humorous to seriously testing the capacity to wait. This particular […]

Reorganise

There is a method of operating in life that roughly goes as follows. You will do something a particular way because it is what you are used to. This will happen until someone comes along or something happens that challenges how you do what you do. If an alternative is presented that gets you a […]

Dance with You

I don’t dance. I have a great sense of rhythm and I appreciate things done in good rhythm. I know a good dancer when I see one and I am blessed to have a household of women who love to dance any opportunity they get and they dance well. I don’t dance. It’s not that […]

Which Way Is The Wind Blowing?

There’s this bit in the book of Acts where it’s recorded that Paul and his apostolic team were stopped from going somewhere because of the Spirit of God. I could of course give you the exact scripture location, but I genuinely enjoy from time to time encouraging you to search it out and see if […]

Threads in the Story

Movies or a TV series. More often than not, I prefer a good TV series. Or a decent series of movies. What gives the series the edge is the ability to follow the development of the story and the key character(s). What’s also applause-worthy is how good writers will set up a thread in a […]

In this environment, there was a greater concern for retaining information than for collaboration. I could understand the concern to not allow things to be […]

Platforms and Pedestals

Some of us have been reading what Paul wrote to Titus about setting things straight in the church in Crete. Recently we came across this clear instruction to Titus. In the same way, encourage the young men to live wisely. And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. […]

For Sharing Out Loud

Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we here? What happens when we die? Why does it all matter? These questions tend to be individual ones, but that’s not always been the case. For tribes and other gathering of people groups, those questions would be asked on a communal level. The answers […]

This Is What He Wants

This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For,  There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. (1 Timothy 2:3-6) It would be one of the biggest lies of my […]

The Journey to There

Recently I took out an A5 sheet of lined paper and started writing. What I wrote on it was an outline of the journey I have taken in life thus far. It was just broad-strokes from season to season. One particular aspect of that which proved to be very interesting was looking at the setbacks. […]
