I am very eager to see change. Change in myself, change in my loved ones, change in those who belong to the Body of Christ and change in those yet to become a part. I am very eager indeed to witness this change. I appreciate such a change is never straightforward and all that easy. […]
Read More Leave It To JesusI don’t think it’s any coincidence that Alicia Keys and Alan Knox have the same initials. Far be it from me to suggest that Knox in his spare time is be found being an innovator in the R’n’B world (and also the opposite gender). It is my contention, however, that some of the things that […]
Read More Alan Knox – This Man Is On FireA friend said that good people are hard to find. Once they’re found it’s important to nourish that relationship. It’s not as though adversity was unusual before Bletchley, or that adversity in Bletchley was that much more overwhelming than on previous occasions. It’s just that the importance of good friends emerged even greater than before […]
Read More Bletchley Lessons: Adversity Helps You Know Your Real FriendsOK, this honesty thing might get me in trouble, but I’m going ahead anyway. There are some things in the Bible and in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ that I run away from. Not overtly. Oh no, I’m far too savvy for that. I do my running discreetly. Call me the Discreet Runner. […]
Read More Giving Up: Sometimes the Hardest Thing To Do Is The Most ImportantThere is a danger in expecting the miraculous every time. Likewise in believing the mundane is all there is. Getting to Bletchley was a miracle. Some days in Bletchley appeared routine and mundane. Yet again however God proved to be just as present and important in both. The ongoing life of faith is one about […]
Read More Bletchley Lessons: The Miraculous and Mundane Are ImportantI could complain about a number of things – the state of the world, the state of the country, the state of the city, the state of the community, the state of the church. I could do that, but what’s the point? Complaining hasn’t improved anything – it is actually addressing the issue that has […]
Read More Nightchurch: Doing Something Right By Sharing The LightFor starters, don’t get me wrong. (A brilliant phrase, I love it.) When things don’t turn out as I planned, when serious problems arise and when the pressure hits I have been known to duck for cover, cry like a wailing baby or just completely zone out. So what I’m saying is not a pie […]
Read More How To Smile When Things Go WrongI’m not what I want to be, but thank God I’m not what I used to be. I have heard that line and variations of it for quite some time now. It can get so familiar that it loses its significance and can be somewhat cliche. Thankfully every now and then things happen to actually […]
Read More The Gospel: What Has Changed and What Is Changing?God sucker punched me again. I was thinking about Christmas and how we miss the opportunity to share Christ at Christmas for one reason or other. Now I don’t celebrate Christmas for various reasons and have gone through a number of developments in my stance on the issue. It leaves me still not celebrating it, […]
Read More All Bitterness ErasedIn the last entry I shared a mock open letter from me to God on why I don’t pray. In it you’ll note there are some ‘lighter’ moments, and some more serious things that are said. I would like to tell you that I didn’t mean any of that. To be brutally honest, however, if […]
