It occurred to me. The more I dwelt on it, the more powerful it became. Jesus Christ is beautiful. Preaching captives set free, prisoners liberated, broken hearted healed. That is so beautiful. Healing sick, bringing sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, touching the leper, restoring prostitutes. That is so beautiful. Consistency and quality […]
Read More An Awe Inspiring Experience: Captivated By Jesus’ BeautySilence. I know some who are frightened of silence. The stillness. The lack of activity. The absence of noise. It freaks some people out. They don’t feel of any use to anyone unless they are doing something, saying something! Some church gatherings appear dubious of being quiet. (With good reason in some cases.) They are […]

And calling him King David is at the time an interesting statement. His son that he loved, Absalom, has usurped his position and strategically pushed David from the throne. The king […]
Read More An Acknowledgement That Not Everyone Is My FriendThat whole glass half full or glass half empty business. What was that all about? The optimist and pessimist both miss the point.

I started blogging because I noticed a friend of mine blogging. Then as I got to know the blogosphere better I came across writers and sites from people around the world.

Read More A Simple Response To Those Who Mock ChristianityThe thing about getting to know someone is that to truly do it, you can’t stay on the sidelines. Biographies are a good example. You can read some and it is clear the writer collected the material from dustbins and the scraps of forgotten tabloid reject articles. They know the subject as well as your […]
Read More A Complete Immersion: A Few Drops Won’t DoRelationships are delicate affairs. However strong they are, it doesn’t take much to destabilise them. For every disappointment, there is a layer of distrust that makes future relationships harder to develop. One way I have experienced that is with the case of those niggling small unresolved matters. You know. Your friend does something slightly annoying, […]
Read More A Situation Unresolved: A Disaster Waiting To HappenThe picture of the hero requires them to fulfil the Heroic Action Criteria. Superman set the standard by ensuring that the falling Lois Lane was rescued. Spider-Man also passed the mark whether it was Gwen Stacy or Mary Jane Watson. Thus the critical element in the Heroic Action Criteria is to come to the rescue. […]
