Wisdom. What a priceless quality to have in life. How will I know what to do with my time from day to day? Wisdom. How will I make a decision on a pressing issue? Wisdom. How will I respond to challenging behaviour from those who claim to love me? Wisdom. How will I engage in […]
Read More WiserThere are some parts of the Bible that some would prefer not to read. The parts about the blessings of the Lord are enjoyable parts to read. The parts about the restoration and redemption of humanity are enjoyable parts to read. The parts about the protection of the Lord and the angelic support are enjoyable […]
Read More Prayer for Change – Facing OppositionThere is this device used in stories about super heroes. Especially pertinent to those with heightened senses. The device goes something like this. The character who will become the super hero comes across whatever it is that makes them a super hero. Then there’s a stage of disorientation, it’s as though their senses are immediately […]
Read More Benefits of Selective HearingWe were having a conversation about this child at school. To say he was unruly would be an understatement. It seems like it was his point of duty every day to disrupt. Sometimes verbally, but often physically. It didn’t bother him who he hit or hurt. And despite all of the problems he was bringing […]
Read More Suppress vs ExpressCrossing a line. There’s something about crossing a line suggesting that you were one thing and now you’re something different. There’s clarity in seeing things that way.

The service was somewhat […]
Read More What Did He Show You Today?It was the way he mentioned longing that really resonated with me. There’s been so much talk about feeling at home with your own culture. People wanting to return to where they’re comfortable and that comfort is defined by certain hallmarks of the background. Style of music, clothes, expression, etc. So much in the way […]
Read More LongingBroken. The pot was broken into little pieces. No one had an idea what to do, but it was clear that it could never be put back together again. It was broken too decisively. No craftsman or expert potter would be able to put that together again. Perhaps it would be better to just dispose […]
Read More Broken on PurposeYou ever come across someone outline something that takes place in a matter-of-fact kind of way and later reflect and actually wonder how on earth they did it? The Bible is good at that. All over the place things are recorded and relayed to us as though these are things that regularly happen. Take for […]
