Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. (Proverbs 28:13 NIV) It is like a grip clamped on the heart that squeezes in and chokes any life out of it, slowly, remorselessly and effectively.

Read More Things I Might As Well DoNotes from a conversation with a very important friend of mine inspire this blog entry. (Thank you, Lorna.) You ever been shifty? By shifty I mean behaviour suggesting underhand activities and motives. I have been shifty on a number of occasions. I was watching an episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent. Nichols is chasing […]
Read More Say What You See; Transparent FellowshipTrue story. I scheduled yesterday’s post after writing it way back on Saturday. I wrote it, scheduled it, then forgot all about it. Yesterday, something, maybe a tweet or a blog, got me thinking about confessing. On the strength of that I did a series of tweets with the hashtag #IMustConfess. Of course later on […]
Read More What’s The Fuss With Confession?The woman told me she belonged to a fellowship. This woman, who for the sake of the argument we’ll call Alison (not her real name), did not know I was a Christian.

Their approach was to stress […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Saved – VIP Mass Choir feat. John P. KeeSo I’m with my sleeping 2 year old daughter. As you know the best time is when they are asleep.

Read More Don’t Hold It In – Talk About ItThe album was older, but I remember getting me hands on this album – Just Me This Time – as one of the first purchases I made that was rather special on Amazon way back in 1999. (Remember the 20th Century, folks? I was there!) I remember the thrill I had opening the wrapper and […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Purge Me – John P. KeeTrue story. For all the fuss I make about John P. Kee, it was the first time I had ever heard this song in this year despite the fact that the song is probably not far from being 20 years old! This highlights how the brother is not about just catchy tunes that you jump […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Wash Me (Reprise) – John P. KeeI don’t have to write this, I know that. I take responsibility for what I write on here, good, bad and indifferent. The written word is not the best forum for everything and some things are best done in a more suitable environment. However, some things are good to make a record of in the […]
