I remember from a very early age singing a hymn called Count Your Blessings. Looking back the lyrics are fairly basic and simple – count your blessings, name them one by one, count your many blessings, see what God has done. As ever with the hymns that are sung time and time again from childhood […]
Read More My GratitudeRecently I did the quarterly review of the kind of stuff that’s been published over at the over place. As I mentioned in that report though, whereas that blog is an open access blog with a lot of stuff easily accessible to people interested in the things I am, this here blog, the older blog, […]
Read More State of the Blog Address: Jan-Mar – DMCDI like the concept of a homecoming ceremony so that when someone dies rather than getting all upset and everything, we actually celebrate the life that was and usher them home. It’s not completely heartless towards those who mourn and this song is right for the occasion. I enjoyed watching it. May have a little […]
Read More How Do We Say Goodbye?I often wonder about real love. I listen to stories of relationships where people have been used and abused and they’ve stuck around longer than is healthy because of love. A love they have for the person and a love they perceive is reciprocated in some bizarre fashion by the one claiming to love them. […]
Read More Everlasting Love – Cece WinansSo still on the relationship trip that we’ve been on for a few days now and there’s something marvellous about the relationship we develop with God that moves us beyond piety and pretence to desperation and admitted nakedness. It’s easy to put on masks for the public but in prayer to develop a knowing of […]

(Proverbs 30:5-6) Food and drink today are not what they used to be. I cannot imagine people of my grandparents’ generation being […]
Read More MTP30 – No AdditivesDo not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles, lest the LORD see it and be displeased, and turn away his anger from him. (Proverbs 24:17-18) Do not say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will pay the man back for […]
Read More MTP24 Wouldn’t Wish It For Your Worst EnemyI wrote the majority of this at the beginning of March with the intention of just editing it here and there and posting it. Such is life that time flew by and I wasn’t able to post it, but it’s still very much relevant as an update on where things are now. No matter how […]
Read More DMCD Update – Better Late …Wisdom is for life not just for reading in a book called Proverbs. It’s all well and good to get stirred and inspired by words on a page, but there’s something inspiring when it comes alive in the human experience. Take for example … Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his […]
Read More MTP19 Wisdom Has You CoveredIt wasn’t that long ago that I was reading the biography of Michael Foot by Kenneth O. Morgan. When you read it you’ll note that at the time I was eager to write a review when I finished reading it, but never got round to it. Recently of course there have been tributes on the […]
