“What do you want to do?” “I don’t know, whatever you want.” “I think we should get rid of those and then get these.” “Sure thing, whatever you want to do.” “We want to have this person in place.” “Well at the end of the day, it’s up to you. I will abide by the […]
Read More Why So Passive?John 9 features one of my favourite episodes in the gospels namely that of sight being given to the man born blind. I love it. The disciples questioning Jesus, the response Jesus gives, the process by which the man gets his sight, the encounter with the Pharisees and the riff Jesus takes on the whole […]
Read More Telling The TruthAccommodate – give space for, allow room for someone or something. Acclimatise – process of getting used to new conditions. Assimilate – take on the aspects, behaviours and values of the new environment often resulting in resembling the environment. Those are the thoughts that go on in my head when I consider these three terms. […]
Read More Accommodate, Acclimatise, AssimilateHave I told you how much I love the TV show Arrow? I don’t watch a lot of TV at all, but I was very much taken with the plot and characters in this story. I particularly like the development of the lead character Oliver Queen from a young playboy relying on his parents’ big […]
Read More Aiming Arrows AccuratelyThe worse thing is – they mean well. You know what I mean. Those people with annoying, irritating aspects of character but aren’t deliberately being so.

Read More Admitting AnxietyA number of people I know and indeed love enjoy eating cheese. Notice. I still love them. That’s truly amazing, because I don’t like cheese. At all. In fact I’ve been known to say I despise the stuff. So to still love those who enjoy something I hate is testament to the mercy and grace […]
Read More AppetiteThe 70’s was a good decade for music. Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye did their best stuff in this decade, so that settles the matter. This beauty by Andrae Crouch captures the musical vibe of the time excellently and thus offers a great platform to convey a great message far beyond the normal circles. That’s […]
Read More CD Songs: Andraé Crouch & The Disciples – You Don’t Know What You’re MissingSomeone pointed out to me that the Garden of Eden was the first restaurant in creation. That makes God the first waiter and chef. Talk about quality customer service, God was thus the first five star restaurateur. Imagine all the fruit in all the garden at his disposal. The only way to get kicked out […]
Read More Having A MealThe hymn O To Be Like Thee becomes harder to sing the more you realise who you’re singing about. I do enjoy hearing the bluster and bravado of well meaning, gung-ho followers who like Peter will impulsively say they will do anything for Jesus. I enjoy hearing it. I don’t question the sincerity, I don’t […]
