Reading the book of Acts there’s quite a lot of astounding things that happen after the ascension of Jesus Christ. I remember asking and now I’ve lived to see my children ask: if things like this happened at that time, why don’t they happen now? Some blamed it on a lack of faith. Some blamed […]
Read More That Was Then, This is Now: So?When I needed help you were right there. Sometimes I don’t even know how you knew, but you did and you were there. You made no demands of me. You saw I was burdened and told me to rest. You patiently waited as my stubborn way bucked against the wise counsel. Your rebuke was not […]
Read More Appreciating AssistanceI can’t remember when the spectre of asthma did not hover over me. At it’s worst I have been hospitalised because of it. More often that not there are times in the year when breathing gets laboured and asthma attacks are triggered. The medical support refer to medication they recommend to keep it controlled. So […]
Read More AirwaysSoon I hope to post a review of a book I have just fininshed reading. What made this experience particularly unique for me was that I got to engage with the author as I was reading it. I would read a section and then message him to ask for some insight about the chapter I […]
Read More Talking To The AuthorIt bothers me. I reckon some of the things that bother me are the spring board to do something about it.

I say that because a lot of the behavioural focus I’ve come across with children, young adults and fully grown mature adults indicates that ‘behaving’ yourself is the key. I know that […]
Read More The Gospel DifferenceThere’s a point to planting the seed deep in the ground. There is an expected outcome in ensuring it’s in the right place in the right environment with the right support. There is a purpose. There is a reason for animals existing where and how they do. There is a reason for the birds in […]
Read More FruitfulnessHowever, I admit that I worship the God of our ancestors as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets, and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will […]
Read More Acts Actually: 24 – Making Your CaseI am glad that the Spirit is not looking to fill people the way employers are looking for potential employees. The recruitment process in work can at times be a bit like how Samuel approached the anointing of the second king of Israel. I say a bit like it, because there are occasions when the […]
