There is right. There is wrong. There is good. There is bad. Where’s the life? What makes Him so different for me was that in as much as He can answer questions about right and wrong, His existence was more an issue of answering the question where is the life? The life evidently could not […]
Read More Simply DifferentWe had come from a long way. We just had to see him. At first it was the reports about him apparently contributing to an amazing turnaround at a wedding party. The wine was running low and the integrity of the groom was at stake, when he was able to turn a possible disaster into […]
Read More A Simple RequestOne of the people I was teaching asked me to explain the term ‘substantial’. On that occasion I got all technical on them and said that it meant – stuff. When something is substantial it is full of stuff. When it is not substantial it doesn’t have a lot of stuff in it. The person […]
Read More Something Substantial: Not Just A Cheese SandwichI love a good political thriller. The intrigue, the ambition, the aspiration, the connections, the soaring hopes, the corrupting, the demise, the mess and in some cases the lessons to learn that might point to some sort of redemption.

Read More Bent Out Of Shape: Familiarly UnfamiliarIt was a really good conversation which as ever was based on a really good question. “What are you going to do now?” The question was coming from a great place, because it came from those who had a great deal of love and respect. It was not to gain ammunition for gossip. It was […]
Read More What Shape Are You In?Stumbling and fumbling and bumbling around. Not having a clue what to do, not having a clue where I’m going, not having a clue about anything except for the apparent need to do something or else I’m not really alive. For all that, though, it’s still just stumbling and fumbling and bumbling. Anything good or […]
Read More Focus On The Light To Lead The WayOne of the encouraging things that came across in his speech on endurance, was how focusing on Jesus would help us to endure. It was particularly appropriate having heard about Jesus being the author and finisher of our faith. If we can focus on Him, He is sure to help us endure. He gives us […]
Read More What Did He Say?It’s interesting listening to what different people say about their experiences of it. I remember being in a small gathering (small in the number of physical occupants, but significantly bigger in other aspects). Someone started singing the hymn, I Stand Amazed. I had heard the hymn a number of times before and was fairly well […]
