This life thing is so fascinating. When I was at home with my parents and siblings I had to do what my parents (and big sister) told me to do. There was little room for questions and definitely short shrift for any rebellion or refusal (especially from the big sister). As I grew up though, […]
Read More Some Reasoning Going OnIt is very difficult to be a follower of Jesus Christ and not be an irritant to your culture. Some succeed in not being a full-blown offence to those around them, but most in one or shape or form make those who live in their culture rather uncomfortable. This is not a deliberate ploy to […]
Read More Upsetting the Status QuoI love words. That’s not the first time I’ve said that and it won’t be the last. It is hopefully something that is fairly obvious from this here blog which is driven by them as well as the Other Place. In as much as I wouldn’t class myself as a high intellectual, I acknowledge that […]
Read More The Word In The Flesh – Not On PaperNovember. My kinda month. Although August to October hasn’t worked out as I’d like, I’m still very much grateful to God for the wonderful blessings that I’ve experienced in that time. I’m in a position now to blog more regularly now and I’m happier for that and it’s just in time for November. Have I […]
Read More Thank You For NovemberI am still on an enforced sabbatical from blogging and am slipping this one through the net by means of good resources. I am hopeful that this enforced sabbatical will come to a close sooner rather than later, but I cannot say when that will be and just ask that you continue to hold on […]
Read More Just and OnlyI think sometimes we have it all wrong. I think sometimes we think the chief end of life is to be happy. Sometimes I get the impression we think that’s the goal. It’s definitely evident in the advertising and programme making of some. It’s the undercurrent of a lot of what goes on in our […]
Read More The Pursuit of HolinessI love excuses. In the sense of the effort that we obviously put to divert the true source of responsibility to something completely inappropriate. When I say I love it, that’s because of the opportunity I get to respond to those excuses, or the chance to see how others will accept the pathetic excuses I […]
Read More 117 Hilarious & Sad Excuses: No. 47 – Nobody’s PerfectThen Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed his last. (Luke 23:46) Jesus says quite a bit on the cross. It’s not a sermon altogether, but when you read Luke, Matthew and John gives a lot of Jesus in the […]
Read More The Death of Christopher Dryden: Crosswords at the CrossroadsThe whole responsibility thing, isn’t all bad. I say that, because often the word responsibility doesn’t elicit shouts of joy and acclaim. Yet there are some real benefits to taking responsibilities seriously – some joyful benefits at that. I was reflecting on that today as I went about the domestic chores and family duties that […]
Read More On Personal ResolutionsYou ever get yourself into that kind of tight spot and wonder what have you done? Sometimes in those tight situations that question isn’t so much why you did what you did. Sometimes what you did was right, but tight spots like hot-spots are not good spots. Yet it’s in those spots that we can […]
