From childhood, Jon was considered to be someone who would go far. He was an intelligent young man at school, which was remarkable because his parents didn’t appear to be anything like him when it came to intellect. They were hard-working people, though and endeavoured to see their son adopt that key value. This explains […]
Read More A Problem with Control and FreedomDesensitised. Eat enough of one kind of thing and before long you become desensitised. Sure it’s bad for you, but you’ve got in the habit now and it’s not affecting you too much. Not too much. Not much anymore. It’s been part of the diet for so long that to do without it would be […]
Read More Developing an AppetiteWhat’s in the packed lunch today? Typically, back in the day, it was sandwiches, fruit, a packet of crisps, a sweet something of some sort – usually a chocolate bar and a drink. That used to be my favourite packed lunch. I didn’t get that all the time. There were certainly times where my Mum […]
Read More Packed Lunch for the JourneyThe first day going to school on his own was quite something. The night before his Mum checked to see if he had remembered to lay out everything he would wear.

Read More Hope for the JourneyThere are intangibles that somehow make all the tangible difference. That which allows people to make progress in life in a discernible way of progress, do so by the intangible. When they talk about hard work or smart work they are not necessarily referring to something that can be measured by the sweat of the […]
Read More Faith for the JourneyThe good thing about seeing my brother again is that it reminds me of just how far we have come. He and I grew up in the same household. We shared the same bedroom for the majority of that time. To this day no other person has an insight on me like he does. Same […]
Read More Love for the JourneyWe were having a conversation about God. Again. In the conversation we looked at how He as the authority spoke creation into being. It responded in the light of His word because He is authority. He speaks and it is. No one has that power. No one. It’s something that makes Him unique as the […]
Read More Hope of Harmony – But Not As We ExpectHe said. She said. We want to hear someone say what he said so that we know. It is not always possible to get it straight from the source and when that is not possible, the nearest we can get is as good as anything. Yet some folks really rely on the secondhand sources. To […]
