Listening to scripture being read has become one of my favourite things to do in life. There’s a dramatised version of the New International Version that I love listening to especially when it comes to texts with the necessary narrative. So whilst listening, I came across 2 Chronicles. I gotta say, 1 and 2 Kings […]
Read More The Rise & Fall of Asa: 1 – ContextWouldn’t it be tragic if you trained for so long and put in the hours of performance in a competition that turned out to be the wrong one. You might not think that would happen. Surely someone would notice and correct things. No one would persist competing in the wrong race. Surely not. Reality is […]
Read More On The Run: EpilogueSometimes we get ourselves in a situation we can’t get out of. So mired in circumstances and mental conditions that coping mechanisms are all we have. In the middle of all that I am grateful that the good news is about God seeing that condition did something about it. Doing something we could never do […]
Read More On The Run: The Home Run“I remember … When they were young, they would fall, hurt themselves and come running to me. They ran to me because I could take the pain away. They ran to me because I could make it better. They ran to me because everything they needed was found in me. They got older and thought […]
Read More On The Run: The Problem in a MemoryThe rice was plain. The chicken was plain. The vegetables were plain. That was what they were used to.

My friend’s concern was how to facilitate the session in the typical way that the absent facilitator would do it. The concern was understandable, after all, my friend didn’t want to upset a routine that people got […]
Read More Does That Suit You?Moreover Blessing It was something Authrine reminded me about. She was talking about how God responded to Solomon’s request. So I went to read 1 Kings 3 and loved how Solomon put himself at the mercy of God to just get the wisdom required to operate in his position as king. That degree of humility […]
Read More Moreover Blessing & Even Though LoveWhen I am asked to do something within my strengths and in line with my passions there is something about me that gets tunnel visioned. It’s as if I block everything out except endeavouring to excel in that area. It can be remarkably useful and also remarkably off-putting to others. As well as that, however, […]
Read More Faithful to the MissionHer children know it, her friends know it and if nobody else knows it for sure, her husband knows it. She doesn’t have to say she is devoted to others, her actions speak loudly for themselves. Staying behind when others have left, stepping in when people drop out, persisting in the jobs that puts folks […]
Read More A Word On A Great ServantMy mentor mentioned the fact that this coming October would see the 500th anniversary of a significant moment in the Christian religion. For the first 18 years of my life, despite being brought up in a church environment, I had absolutely no idea what the Reformation was about. It was never talked about in any […]
