Collaboration

He writes the words, she does the music. She came up with the idea, they worked on the script, brought him in as the director and once we got our two main.characters, the piece just came together beautifully. I saw him plan it out, then they took their time doing the construction. One geezer spent […]

Hunger

In hunger, my mind and body informs me it is in need of sustenance. It is one of the basic needs of life. It expresses itself as one of the first urges and desires I experience. Before long I grow to realise that if I do not meet this need there may be trouble ahead. […]

First

Solomon. What a fascinating biblical character. The result of a union that came about by his dad killing his mum’s husband. Still, Solomon is born as an expression of God’s grace to the extent that God shows His approval by giving him a name of His own. Despite the family turmoil with a raped sister, […]

Maverick

When I read scripture, I cannot help but be intrigued by the maverick character. Two such dudes that stand out in this category are Elijah and John D. Baptist. (I like how he’s the only geezer who has his own gimmick in the Bible, to the extent that it made sense to have that as […]

“Christopher!” shouted my wife, “Christopher!” It seemed as though she was only just calling me when I replied, but she made it clear that it had been some time since she looked to get my attention. I had been involved in something that so interested me, that everything else appeared not to exist as a […]

Older

Meditating on the Word day and night is quite a feat. As a boy growing up and going to church, it was clear to me that there types who talked a good talk and those who passionately lived it out. Two aged men in particular stood out as tremendous examples to me of staying passionate […]

Mentor

Fuss is made over titles and positions. Sad and inevitable as we consider the human condition. This is why my life has been impacted by a man who wasn’t that bothered about those things. He cared about the spiritual wellbeing of a much younger brother. At the time the younger dude was very much naïve […]

Scrappy

I thank God for cartoons. Back in the day … back in my day (80’s to mid 90’s), there were lots of stories and values conveyed cleverly in cartoons. Good cartoons. Cartoons that a parent could safely leave their son to watch for hours without any disturbance, There are many that could be mentioned, but […]
