Thanksgiving is a beautiful thing. Truly a beautiful and wonderful thing. Today has been a great example of that. I have had the privilege of working under a particular organisation over the last year or so. These folks have been brilliant. They’ve helped me experience what it is to be kinda self-employed and working as […]
Read More Celebrating God in the Beauty of OthersI am not a fan of uniform types of church – one style and size must fit all. I mean by that a uniformed format of how the ‘service’ should take place, and all the ingredients done in the same order. It just does not make sense to me. I found it interesting reading about the David and Goliath […]
Read More In Fitting With Who You AreThis week I’ve been rather taken with reading of the exploits of God’s people and especially his leaders through the Old Testament books of 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings and 1 and 2 Chronicles. I got into these books well before getting acquainted to the gospels. Well before I began following Jesus, […]
Read More Reading Then Reading NowTwo things to start this entry. In a few short days’ time Dr. Who will celebrate its 50th anniversary. Also it’s my birthday today. Now the connection between the two won’t see me go all fan-loving on Dr. Who. It’s there for a reason. In the latest edition of Dr. Who Magazine, the programme showrunner, […]
Read More A Time For Now To Look Back And Look AheadWhen I got home, I eventually made it upstairs to be greeted by my three daughters performing a dance just for me. Sure it wasn’t the best choreographed piece you’ve ever seen, but they pranced about with such enthusiasm and joy, the grin was permanently etched on my face. I sat to talk to my […]
Read More A Brief Word Of Gratitude For My FamilyI sing in a choir. At this point I usually make a quip about using the term loosely. However on this occasion I’ll skip it because there’s something in the singing that’s inspired this post. Of late we’ve had a director who has challenged us. In so doing he alerted and reminded me of the […]
Read More Discipline & FruitfulnessI am very grateful to God for journeying mercies. From back in childhood, whenever we travelled in the car from location to the next, there was always gratitude for God allowing us to get to our desired destination. It was not always easy, but the mere fact that we got to where we going was […]
Read More Prayer of Thanks for Journeying MerciesThe nature of the life we lead can often be very demanding. Responsibilities require energy to carry them out. Loving people is not done without expending something of yourself in it. That takes a toll. This is why it was a genius part of the human set-up to require a number of hours of sleep […]
Read More It’s Very Good From Time To Time To RestThis weekend a very dear friend of mine challenged me. There are a group of churches in a geographical region who are lacking in numbers. Meanwhile other churches have more numbers and could certainly do with giving some of their members the opportunity to serve elsewhere. My genius idea was to offer the opportunity to […]
Read More Are We Set Up To Be Fruitful?It’s an interesting time of year. Today I stood with others in a church service as the efforts of the servicemen who died in the major wars of the last century were remembered. I was informed by the leader of the service, that these people made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Yesterday I was […]
