It is my great honour and privilege to know some brilliant people. They may not be household names around the world, but as far as I am concerned they are big names in my household. There was a chance for me to big up some of my friends to other friends. It felt great giving […]
Read More HallelujahApparently the word excel refers to being superior or surpassing someone or something. Although I have done the competitive thing in sport from time to time, I am not big on being competitive. Yet if there is someone I compete against often, it is myself. Recently I recognised that I have been tremendously blessed in […]
Read More ExcelOrlando Dillon. Paul refers to the believers as saints in Christ. The role of the saint now is seen as a special type of person with excellent qualities that help others.

Read More Exploring The HomeYesterday my first born child celebrated her ninth birthday. Deborah is very important to me because she’s my first born. At nine, she is no longer a fragile little baby needing to be fed and changed. In considering her development, I see someone who is more advanced than I was at her age, especially intellectualy. […]

I enjoy taking time to read his perspective and passion about the things of God. On this occasion he posted a really cool video of N.T. Wright talking about […]
Read More Being Truly HumanThe congregation had just finished singing the chorus “He Is Lord”. There had been the usual whooping and hollering and praises onto God for the nature of the song. Hands were raised and the occasional ‘hallelujah’ broke out. The saints were feeling good. The speaker seemed to be out of step with the mood of […]
Read More Why Call Him Lord When …It’s been interesting in my life recently. Back in my school days the school gave me a brown folder called a National Record of Achievement within which I could put all my school reports and certificates and the such like to mark the passing of my time at school. My beloved wife dug it out, […]
