In recent times things have been a little busy for me. Family life is still the priority for me and that expresses itself in different ways. Paid work takes its time, then there are other responsibilities that demand my attention. In it all it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and then I remember. There […]
Read More Breaking and MouldingIt’s funny how I remember some things. The other day I was reflecting on the account of creation in Genesis. I love contemplating on that beautiful account of God and the world we live in. I was thinking of lessons to learn from the account, like things starting in a mess but ending up very […]
Read More Looking Back, Going ForwardAthletics? Nah. I used to run a bit at school, but in my younger years. Then I got to the stage where I didn’t like running so much. I much prefer walking. As for watching athletics, it was one of the few things my Dad would watch on TV. So I watched races and was […]
Read More Run to Win but not be DisqualifiedI look at myself sometimes and think what a lethargic, lazy slob I am.

I have come across some brilliant creative types who have helped me considerably by displaying their creative prowess. That has reminded me that I got into blogging and persisted in it because of […]
Read More Pilgrim’s EndThere was a time in my life when I did what I wanted to do in as much as resources allowed it. What makes the statement a little odd, is that I was doing that whilst making the claim to be a follower of Jesus. So I would verbally affirm Jesus doing the leading, but […]
Read More He Does The LeadingI love God. I really do. It’s the reason why I live and move and have such verve for doing my best. Among the countless reasons for loving Him is His unerring habit of speaking and then when He speaks, what He says happens. I love it. At the start of this year, I spoke […]
Read More Word in ActionDear Ritson: Following the starter it’s time to get on with the main course.
