See I told you that I’ll allow some YouTube clips back on this blog! It is quite fitting actually to post this particular blog as it combines a number of themes I’ll develop in the next blog entry that continues the series on fasting. For the time being I can highlight how Washer’s challenge about […]
Read More Do You Desire God? – Paul WasherNow I could just go back to the series on fasting and give another part of the amazing journey of learning about God all the more. I am excited to do so and have lots to write. In as much as I want to do that, and this is not the launch of another side-track […]
Read More Updates and Churches vs. DenominationI’m on the finishing strait of this mini diversion from the fasting series – after this just one more part to post and we’re done!

Read More UnhinderedThis week through many different encounters and experiences I’ve been reminded about how essential and difficult it is to follow Jesus and Jesus only.

Well since last I blogged I’ve had to deal with a number of traumatic issues in settling into the new place that we’re in. I […]
Read More All You Need To Know About Everything In Seven MinutesEver considered your roots? Not just family and cultural heritage, but where you are planted? What are you sunk into and as a result where do you feel in the place of greatest belonging? Sometimes we go through life rootless and wander searching for places to plug in. Social groups and cultural settings like the […]
Read More RootedOne of the key points in developing on the theme of the previous post is listening. I appreciate coming across material that makes me listen and think and respond in one way or another and the work of Jim McClarty definitely does that.
