It’s remarkable how changing circumstances can affect us emotionally. Not remarkable in the sense that it really shouldn’t, more remarkable as to how it affects us in differing ways. There are some people I know whose whole mood lifts when it’s pay-day and that mood sags towards the middle of the month when they have […]
Read More Hope Helps You Look UpAh the issue of identity. Some view it through racial, gender, sexuality and physical/mental capacity perspectives. Some believe it’s something that can be sorted all by yourself. There is something about having the humility to realise that maybe not being certain on everything about your identity is good place to start. And also understanding that […]
Read More Place To Be Who You AreWhat happens when they leave? There was this season where my wife and I were a part of this community group. We helped to form it with another couple. Over time we gathered a small number of people in the group and we were all committed to shared goals and values. At least it looked […]
Read More When They LeaveOne of the things I find very fair about God is that He judges based on what you know. Knowing and being aware of something works in different ways for different people.

Read More Help in the Faith BuildingIt really is remarkable. We can see so many awesome things take place around us and still have a negative mind-set on things. You can witness the miracle of childbirth and still grow to hate the child AND the one who gave birth to the child. You can enjoy the delight of a wonderful meal […]
Read More What Will It Take To Build Faith?The Bible is full of episodes of real experiences that people throughout time can relate with. Sure there are those occasioons that not everyone goes through. As yet I’ve not been needed to take stroll across a sea in a rough and stormy situation. I’ve not lived in a asmall village that was surrounded by […]
Read More A Good Companion for the CrisisThe day is long and exhausting. All I want to do at the end of it is to rest. And the end of it can be fairly late on. There’s the time invested in the workplace. There’s the quality time with the children. There’s the conversations with other loved ones. It is not a chore, […]
Read More Sunrise on OpportunityYou’ve been here all your life, haven’t you? You probably think this is home. Everyone and everything you know surrounds you and is familiar to you.
