I’m posting this song by the celebrated Bishop Walter Hawkins because of two reasons. One, it’s a great song wonderfully rendered and seeing it live is a beautiful thing showcasing once more the merits of great gospel music to the ears and the eyes. It’s not about coming across all nostalgic and saying they don’t […]
Read More What Is This?The story often referred to as the Prodigal Son is a brilliant example of what the ministry of reconciliation is all about. In that story a fair bit of credit is given to the wastrel son as he comes to his senses and realises that he could get better quality food back at his home […]
Read More RestorationUsually I prefer the understated, reserved and contained approach to matters. Rather than look for a raucous laugh by a loud suggestion I prefer the power of the quip, just slip it in the middle of a regular sentence to elicit a wry chuckle to those who pick it up or that little groan by […]
Read More Gratitude – Being ExtraWait for it. No seriously, you’ll still have to wait for it. If you told me that I would have been putting a four part series on monitoring Authrine’s condition then I would have laughed in your face. (Although if you’d have told me it would have got that many more views on the blog […]
Read More How’s Authrine Watch – Part FourI’ve been banging on about faithfulness fairly often this year and I guess for good reason. In a time when everything dear to me has been put up for grabs and uncertainty is the only certain thing in my life, appreciating the quality of faithfulness and how I often fail but can succeed at it.

Read More Let’s Stay TogetherI remember from a very early age singing a hymn called Count Your Blessings. Looking back the lyrics are fairly basic and simple – count your blessings, name them one by one, count your many blessings, see what God has done. As ever with the hymns that are sung time and time again from childhood […]
Read More My GratitudeWhat do you wake up to? The alarm disturbing the semblance of sleep you were enjoying? The singing birds outside your window as you take your time stretching and yawning to embrace the new day? For slow starters who perhaps require a hot caffeine packed beverage to get the engines running, I offer this stimulating […]
Read More Morning JoyRecently I did the quarterly review of the kind of stuff that’s been published over at the over place. As I mentioned in that report though, whereas that blog is an open access blog with a lot of stuff easily accessible to people interested in the things I am, this here blog, the older blog, […]
Read More State of the Blog Address: Jan-Mar – DMCDI like the concept of a homecoming ceremony so that when someone dies rather than getting all upset and everything, we actually celebrate the life that was and usher them home. It’s not completely heartless towards those who mourn and this song is right for the occasion. I enjoyed watching it. May have a little […]
Read More How Do We Say Goodbye?I often wonder about real love. I listen to stories of relationships where people have been used and abused and they’ve stuck around longer than is healthy because of love. A love they have for the person and a love they perceive is reciprocated in some bizarre fashion by the one claiming to love them. […]
