Recently I reflected on the role of walking with my Dad. In it I referred to how my brother and I would often walk with him when he went for his walks. Looking on that in the light of life today got me thinking about the beauty of praying together. It never fails to amaze […]
Read More Journeyman Journal: Pursuing in Prayer TogetherIt’s interesting to me to see well meaning people propose and promote positions with passion that essentially are pointless. It’s interesting and somewhat tragic. All that passion channelled into something that in the greater scheme of things counts for nothing. The deathbed scene is often referred to and in that scenario as you breathe your […]
Read More A Word On What MattersIt is an incredibly self-centred world we can live in. The immediacy and urgency of the now in me and the needs that drive me from outside and within can allow perspective to be very small. changes take place that appear to put me at a disadvantage while others who don’t share my beliefs are […]
Read More Psalm 33 – Get Some PerspectiveIt’s one thing for Joshua to get his call from God to go forward and possess the promise. It calls for something else for the people to go with him. Hearing the East Jordan tribes suggest that they would commit to the cause they were called to and encouraging Joshua to do what he needed […]
Read More Confronting the Challenge of the Community Commitment to ChangeThere is a treasure greater than any other. There are chores that I am given to do as part of my life.

Read More It’s Not Always That StraightforwardPrayer. I find it fascinating. I learn something about it and there’s more to learn about it.

Read More Prayer – He Invites Us To Kingdom ConversationsOne thing that bothers me about ministries named after an individual is the impression it gives that the whole offer of service is based around one person. The concern I have is that it doesn’t reveal something beatuiful about ministry. That beautiful thing is how we can serve together. We can serve together and serve […]
Read More The Team: Serving Each Other, Serving TogetherIt’s sad, then, seeing people not perform in their best positions. It’s just as sad, though, seeing people play in the right position but in the wrong system. It sounds odd, but hear me out. There are talented keyboardists, flautists, guitarists, drummers, programmers, trumpeteers, cellists, piccolo players and the sort who are playing very well, […]
Read More The Team: Playing The Right SystemIt occurred to me recently that there’s something immensely relaxing about being blessed.
