Who We Are and What We Do

If I follow certain narratives of history, I could get the impression that it was easier back in the day. Who is he? He catches fish. Oh so he’s a fisherman. Yeah. And that’s how it will be for the rest of his life. He’ll be rough and coarse and used to the struggle because […]

Unfailing Love

You lied, despite all that was promised. You should have known better, but you completely denied all that and blatantly lied. That should have left you out of it. Yet you were still remembered and the promise was fulfilled. It could only be Unfailing Love. You tricked and schemed in a bid to let things […]

Worth Admiring

Their allure is great at the start. The fire burns fierce. Then it ebbs, then it flickers, then it peters out. It was worth something at the start, but lost its value over time. Some would evoke feelings for it as though it was something grand, something brilliant, something with such an essence that drew […]

Take A Breath And Hear This

Breathing and hearing. There is a narrative outlining the beginning of humanity. That narrative starts with man being formed from the dust of the earth. Indeed it really is dust to dust when you see how the human form decomposes. What made man a living being was the capacity given to breath by a breath. […]

About A Sentiment Worth Reviewing

Growing up in a church background, there was a statement I heard bandied about as a badge of honour. I’m Holy Ghost filled, water baptised with Jesus on my mind. As with a number of statements, they were easy to declare in a conducive setting. Music playing, feeling the vibe, sensing the mood, uplifted in […]

My Eyes Are Dry

We were talking about a scenario. A leader of a Christian gathering decided to disguise himself as a beggar and see how the congregation treated him. As it transpired the congregants on the whole either ignored and dismissed him or worse actively shunned him and hoped he would stay out of any prominent place. When […]

Because Of You

You are amazing. When I see you and realise what a difference you’ve made in my life, it is the reason why I have to say you are amazing. You give me a reason to live. You do this by example – showing me the life that you live and how I can live it […]

I Wasn’t Expecting That From …

Uncharacteristic. Interesting word, that. Often heard when someone does something that you really would not expect them to do. Often used in the negative. What I love about the gospel of Jesus Christ and indeed the entire narrative of scripture with God is how He takes those you wouldn’t expect and makes them do the […]

Organised at the Heart

My friend and I enjoy talking about the Playmaker. The game goes well when things are organised and each part is playing as they should. Sometimes there are parts that are struggling, but the organiser – the Playmaker knows just how to motivate and support the part. Though different games are played, with different opponents […]

Streams … for Refreshing

There’s a taste I get in my mouth sometimes. Especially when I wake up having had a nap or been asleep. It’s not a pleasant taste in the mouth. So I’ve really appreciated the freshness of my breath when I brush my teeth and gargle it with water. I would even recommend some decent mouthwashes […]
