In recent times things have been a little busy for me. Family life is still the priority for me and that expresses itself in different ways. Paid work takes its time, then there are other responsibilities that demand my attention. In it all it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and then I remember. There […]
Read More Breaking and MouldingWe were doing a group task. Adults mostly over the age of 30, many with young children and many who were coming from hard days at work. I could understand if some of them were tired and just wanted to be fed stuff to passively take in for future reference. Yet all of them were […]
Read More Untapped No LongerIt’s funny how I remember some things. The other day I was reflecting on the account of creation in Genesis. I love contemplating on that beautiful account of God and the world we live in. I was thinking of lessons to learn from the account, like things starting in a mess but ending up very […]
Read More Looking Back, Going ForwardI look at myself sometimes and think what a lethargic, lazy slob I am. I quickly shake myself from that and get to the meat of the matter of how I am to be. This week in particular, scriptures about training have come up big time. Like this one. I read this and in line […]
Read More In TrainingIt’s worth just sharing this for the record. 😏 Connecting with people really, truly and deeply never ceases to be an invigorating experience.

Read More Sharing A Moment With DeborahHis tone was deliberately provocative and accusatory. He was talking about wider issues, but he was still talking to me. “Can you not see?” People are there who are more than capable of helping in the situation.

Read More Word in ActionNot that long ago I shared how I didn’t always take scriptures in their proper context and treat them properly. Lately, I was challenged about another oft repeated verse. I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. (Psalm 34:1) It won’t take too long to be in certain church […]
Read More Praise and the Defeat of DiscouragementI have not looked at the midpoint of the year so intently before. Time has tended to pass by and I have only tended to reflect and consider things at the year’s end. The reason why this is different, however, is probably down to a different intentionality to the year. So from the end of […]
Read More Working It Out – Dryden July UpdateIf you browse through this blog you will not find many photos of me. That’s because I don’t like posting photos of myself. Primarily because I don’t see the need. So it takes much for me to voluntarily do so. The two human beings on the left are two people I have a great deal […]
