Finding Sufficiency In Inadequacy

Feeling like you’ve got it all in control is a remarkable feeling. It’s the sort of feeling that allows you to go on holiday with greatly reduced stress. It’s the sort of feeling that allows you to go shopping without being concerned as to whether or not you’ll not have enough to cover it. It’s […]

Thanks For The Love

The love of God is real. When I am down and feeling low there are good people around me.  Now that could be said for anyone, it doesn’t have to be a Christian. The difference with the community of Jesus Followers, though, is how this love is not just about making you feel good. It […]

And Justice For All

My daughter took part in a school performance.  They did a production of a musical version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears as retold through Roald Dahl’s nursery rhymes. Although I have read one or two Dahl stuff I had not come across the rhymes. The production was enjoyable and my daughter did well thankfully. […]

What Is The Story?

Can you imagine watching a play like MacBeth and getting the wrong message. By the wrong message, I mean watching the play titled MacBeth which features a central character called MacBeth with the narrative about the rise and fall of MacBeth and leaving it thinking actually the play was about King Duncan. Can you imagine […]

A Problem With Arrogance

Growing up often calls for changes. Attitudes and views held can be challenged and discarded. Relationships often take a different path some ending as others begin. Lifestyles may alter along with income and location. There is nothing necessarily wrong with these developments in and of themselves. Problems can arise, however, if arrogance begins to emerge. […]

One Story: Many Contributors

When it’s a Marvel movie, I’ve now been conditioned to sit through the credits. I sit through the credits because there are meant to be little teasers and hints as to what might happen in future films.  Sometimes the hints are good, sometimes they leave you thinking what was the point. Actually, though, there is […]

Know It Live It

Recently I was reminded that the basis of good living is to know it, live it and teach others to do the same. Reflecting on any progress I’ve made in life, I’ve noticed these have tended to take place when I’m in the company of others who mean to progress.  As they live it and […]

Wisdom Produces Wonders

Wonders. By the very word these are supposed to be what attracts people because of the brilliance within that produces the beauty without. They are wonders as we consider how they are what they are and how they last through the tests of time. There are scenes of nature and constructs of man that people refer to […]

Sharpening Each Other

As iron sharpens iron,so one person sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17 This is not going to be a long one. (To which the crowd go wild.) It’s worth thanking God for good relationships. I am a better person today because of my interaction with some brilliant people.  People who cause sparks to fly as I engage […]

In Whose Eyes?

The Bible is made up of various books written by various characters coming from various backgrounds. What I love about the collection of books, however, is how often you come across straight talk. Take for instance the first 11 verses of Proverbs 26. If being a fool was in anyway attractive to you, or you […]
