What often triggers it is a visit to the school. There they all are in their uniform, diverse in shape, size, features and ethnicity though they are, they are all in a uniform and are expected to abide by the principles of the school. In itself there’s not too much disturbing about that even if […]
Read More ConformedThere is such a thing as feeling as though God is silent. You can read scripture, watch and hear lots of teaching and preaching, converse with godly folks and still feel as if God is silent. That is something real that I know from experience. It’s a troubling feeling when it happens, especially if you […]
Read More Question Worth Asking: What Is God Saying?It started with a recollection of a chorus I remember being sung in some of the church settings of my childhood. The chorus simply went: The Lord has done great things for us, whereof we are glad That as the keen bible scholars will know is taken from Psalm 126:3 in the KJV. I was walking […]
Read More About Great Things in PerspectiveMy favourite day of the week is Thursday. One of my favourite dates in the year is 13th October. So what does God in His wisdom and kindness do in 2016 – give me Thursday 13th October. I am surprised that there are not more fireworks cracking off than ever before for such a great […]
Read More The Brotherly Love That ContinuesWe were talking as we usually do and he mentioned something about someone being upset that they had not been contacted in a while.

She remarked how a friend of […]

As a result it’s put pressure on the rest of my family, thank God, though, they have been very resilient through it all and one aspect of the intensity is complete. For all that exertion, tension and pressure there has been a number of positive […]
Read More Faith and StandardsI have not done this in a while. I first heard this song back in the early ’90’s. I remember hearing it and liking it a lot despite not truly understanding it. Today my understanding is a lot better and I remain grateful for the grace that gives the victory. Enjoy. For His Name’s Sake […]
Read More CD Songs: Grace by The O’Neal Twins (1983)I have to admit it. I am prone to rather loud and exuberant expressions of praise. It will sometimes come out like a roar. It can sometimes emit from me like a euphoric cry. This is often backed up with heaps of tears and dramatic body movements. I am not ashamed of it. It’s a […]
Read More A Breathtaking ContemplationI love me some Walter Hawkins and recently whilst doing some other work I treated myself to hearing a lot of his music again. It proved to be a valuable aid in the completion of my work. The music he produced with his choir featuring some outstanding vocal talent singing great truths of life with […]
