This was not how it was meant to work out. Intelligent, witty and evidently competent in the field, he was meant to get the degree and apply that know-how to begin on the ladder. Surely the light should have lead him to progress through the ranks accumulating a good reputation and a bigger bank balance. […]
Read More Where The Light May LeadFocus on the light. It makes for a great guide and a great guide is needed for the journey ahead. One of the pictures that comes to me about life is a lot like the imagery of a dense forest. The trees are tall and full of branches that at times can appear to obscure […]
Read More Comfort and Direction with The LightWhen they were leaving they could have taken a particular route to get to their destination. In fact it would have been quicker to take that route. Yet there was a better route to take that would prevent them from returning to where they were leaving. To get the route and keep on moving there […]
Read More For The Journey – Focus On The LightWherever you are in life, there is something about beauty. I don’t always appreciate it and I acknowledge sometimes I have taken it for granted.

Read More Names and ShapesWhy did they need protection? There is a prayer in which Jesus asked God to do something for His disciples. Protect them. Jesus did a good job keeping all those that were given to Him except for the one that was destined for destruction. They believed in Him and He took them to be His […]
Read More Protect ThemThere is real vulnerability in understanding someone else’s point of view. Vulnerable because there’s an element of leaving what is comfortable to you, to enter into something that is far more comfortable for someone else. That probably explains why in some conversations it’s easier to ‘connect’ with what someone is saying by talking about what’s […]
Read More About An UnderstandingSeeing my daughters get into their teenage years is an interesting experience. By daughters, I mainly refer to the first two, the second of whom will hit those years at her next birthday. It’s interesting watching them because they’re good girls on the whole (as a number of parents are honour bound to say). Yet […]
Read More About Freedom To ServeTen years ago two films were released that would have a significant impact on the movies. One was Iron Man and the other was The Dark Knight.
