I love a good political thriller. The intrigue, the ambition, the aspiration, the connections, the soaring hopes, the corrupting, the demise, the mess and in some cases the lessons to learn that might point to some sort of redemption. Might. A lot of the political thrillers I come across don’t tend to have much in […]
Read More Finding A Rule That’s RightShe’s blown it for sure. The scandal surrounding the matter would always be a cloud hanging over her. She had the child out of wedlock to one man and soon scarpered from the scene leaving her having to bring this child up. Now she’s come across this new man who has intentions to marry her […]
Read More Things Are Shaping Up: Out Of The Mess And the MiseryThe light that shines and helps us make the most of the present also does wonders for other parts of the journey. There was that episode that took place where my friend had gone through a really tough time as he was moving on from one job to another. He felt the cold shoulder from […]
Read More Things Are Shaping Up: In The Right LightThe journey. Sometimes it feels fresh and revitalised. You might have come across something about Jesus that has a profound impact on your life. That initial approach to life is almost wide-eyed and bushy-tailed. What can you do applying this new insight into Jesus? How will it go when you do so? All those marvelled […]
Read More Not Too Far To GoIt never fails to fascinate me. Two people are in the same situation but respond to it in such contrasting ways that it makes you wonder if they really are in the same situation. Then on closer inspection it is apparent that one has some light on the predicament that gives them an approach to […]
Read More In The Light Of The CircumstancesWhen you get into a rhythm through the conditioning of an activity over an extended period of time, it’s hard to get off that rhythm. It’s also interesting how getting into that conditioning can change things for you as far as your appreciation and sensitivity to things are. When people talk to me about wisdom, […]
Read More On The Right Track: Hear Twice, Process and RespondThere are some hints and themes that pop up that give an indication of what might be there to work towards. The tabernacle was glorious and then the temple was glorious. Both of them were put together in ornate and considered fashion. They were splendid constructs designed to be a focal point for the presence […]
Read More Working TowardsIt is truly sobering to note how often in the Scripture, those called by God can miss out, because of a vision problem. The children of Israel who witnessed God deliver them from slavery miraculously, missed out on entering the Promised Land because they preferred to see the land and its inhabitants as too big […]
Read More Do My Eyes Deceive Me?He calls you to put your hands in His and follow Him. Why would you trust Him? There appears to be nothing to base it on. It might have worked for others, it doesn’t mean it will work for you. It makes me wonder what others in the past had to trust in? When they […]
Read More Trust and PromisesThere is definitely a place for routine and rhythm. Couldn’t really do without it. There’s a little bit of a problem though if those rhythms and routines become the only way by which life operates. We start at 11am and have always started at that time.
