Another reason why I’m not too taken up with people’s engaging of the New Year festivities is because in most cases it is a pretty superficial event. Sentiments are given about how much we hope it’s a happy one, resolutions are rustled up, but even by the end of the month they are soon forgotten. […]
Read More Out With The OldSo I better look to get this book then! For His Name’s SakeShalomdmcd
Read More Things to Look Out ForSo much to say, so little time as Take 6 once put it. In many ways it is the culmination of a number of strands that have been buzzing around in the atmosphere for the last two years or so. I would love to be able to write at length, but time does not afford […]
Read More Culmination of ThingsIt’s been a while and there’s good reason for that too – the dreaded technological difficulties. I even have to use the wife’s one to put this together and anyone who knows about the wife’s cute little machine knows that it has to take something for this to be the case. I hope to have […]
Read More Errr … About That HiatusMy church background is pretty interesting and the things that I’ve learnt over my time in Stoke-on-Trent and especially at the YMCA has been eye-opening for so many reasons.

There are elements of discipline to it and there are routines that help to build healthy habits once they are firmly embedded in life. For all that, though, because this is a journey and an ongoing progress there is always something to challenge us […]
Read More Jesus My MotivationYou’re aware that I’ve talked before about confessional community (there was this one, then that one before the other one). It is something that I desperately desire and there have been experiences where I’ve caught a glimpse of what that life might look like. This evening I had the chance to talk with a dear […]
Read More Confessional Community – In The Bigger PictureThis is not designed to be a long blog at all. I’m here in the midst of assignment fun where I’ve got something like three assignments to get completed before Monday and that’s not straightforward at all, but by the grace of God everything is possible. In my case, it has to be really. Today […]
Read More Where Do I Fit In The Larger Scheme Of ThingsI interrupt the flow of insight into what’s been going on with me lately to give another update of sorts on the teaching front. Yes you do recall some of the sessions I’ve had of date as I’ve made note about them of late. The last note I made was the one before the big […]
