Tell Me That Again, Please

When The Dark Knight was released in the cinema, I had the privilege of watching it there. It is a privilege to watch a movie in a cinema. I remember watching it and being totally blown away by it. The story, the performances, the twists and turns, the outcome. It was not just a good […]

Our Delight, Our Meditation

The really wonderful gift from God is a genuine appreciation for that which is beautiful. This is seen in what He does with the eyesight. From blindness and stumbling in darkness, there’s a great change thanks to the light He brings. He opens the eyes to see and He lights the way and in this […]

Can They See Progress?

Maybe it’s because we’re being polite. Perhaps it could be that we’re not used to doing that way. Whatever it is, it bugs me. There were three of us and two of us were already believers when the third guy became a part of the mix. By part of the mix it started with occasionally […]

What Reward?

If you open box A you win the special star prize. If you open box B you get the booby prize. Booby prize. Back in the day I took that phrase for what it meant – this is the worst ‘prize’ you could attain. You didn’t want the booby prize. It was so bad that […]

Deliver Us

The fact that we need someone to deliver us is an interesting concept to consider. If we can get ourselves out of whatever tricky predicament we find ourselves in, then deliverance is not required. And we certainly won’t need anyone’s help where that’s concerned. Evidently, however, there are times where we will come into scrapes […]
