I must applaud my wife. Not because she’s threatening me with violence should I choose not to. I do so because she is truly a woman who gets stuck into anything she commits herself to. She watched the first episode of the new Daredevil series on Netflix and got proper stuck into the drama from […]
Read More Compelling Viewing, Compelling LivingI am comfortable not understanding everything. Even about God. Seriously. I am comfortable. It’s enough for me to make the most of the little that I know before getting greedy about looking for knowledge and understanding on everything. What I am reminded of fairly often is that even what I know should not be taken […]
Read More Tweaking ItMen and brethren, what shall we do? Do you understand what you’re reading? Here’s water, what’s stopping me getting baptised? When the King heard the words, he rent his clothes and called for national reform. When he recovered his sight and got baptised, filled with the Spirit he went about preaching the good news. These […]
Read More How Now Should We Live?Son of God. Son of Man. Prince of Peace. Suffering Servant. It’s something that keeps on bugging me about the example I’m supposed to follow.

Read More Complete SurrenderYou ever hear some statements that make you sit up and pay attention? One of those statements goes as follows: you can take the boy out of the town, but you can’t get the town out of the boy. That’s a brilliant sentiment. It speaks of how deeply embedded familiar values are in the ‘boy’ […]
Read More You Can Take The Son Out Of The Kingdom …It bothers me. I reckon some of the things that bother me are the spring board to do something about it. Almost like a godly pest that won’t budge until I budge to address the matter. Not that I will make all the difference, or by my efforts things will change. More about working with […]
Read More Making WavesSomeone must have thought it would be a good idea for me to take a stroll along memory lane, recently. First there was the issue about remembering where I was ten years ago and the impact of a great expression of brotherly love. I recently had the great pleasure of seeing a former work colleague […]
Read More Another Difference After All These YearsTrue story. Last December – that’s right less than four months ago – I did an Emergency First Aid at Work course. This was a one day course that covered some aspects of First Aid at a basic level. Among other elements we learnt in the session was CPR and how to put someone in […]
