If it was up to me, I would choose to spend most of the day indoors. In fact the work I do and the gift I exercise legitimately gets me to spend most of my time indoors. So that’s sweet for me. Better still, though, I love spending time indoors on my own. Reading, watching […]
Read More Open The Door And Take A WalkThe task is huge. When I saw for the first time how many words they needed for each essay the gulp I gave was audible in the next county. That many words? What do I look like, a novelist? How on earth am I ever going to write that many words, when I have never […]
Read More Taking It One Step At A TimeIt’s fascinating, really. To get from one place to another, we initially walked. Then as the distance lengthened we used a horse. As we used the horse we noticed that the way was too rough, so we smoothed it somewhat. In doing so we established a set route for getting from the one place to […]
Read More About Building and TrainingIt doesn’t happen overnight. The thought of it happening quickly or instantly is one that proves to be very alluring indeed. A man is sick, a prayer is made, the man is healed. Job done. Everyone happy, praise God. That’s not always how God operates. In fact quite often there are things he will say […]
Read More In It For The Long HaulReading the book of Acts there’s quite a lot of astounding things that happen after the ascension of Jesus Christ.

Read More That Was Then, This is Now: So?This blog entry is inspired by a statement made by someone for whom my admiration has sky-rocketed over the past decade. (You know who you are, Your Majesty.) That inspiration was relatively straightforward – your burden is your assignment. By which the meaning is that whatever bugs you and bothers you and pesters you and […]
Read More Your Burden Is Your AssignmentOn the surface there wouldn’t be much to make August one of the best months of the year for me. Our of a job, struggling for motivation, uncertain on direction and challenged financially are good indicators to suggest August would be a grim month. To be fair there were days in the month where I […]
Read More YIR15 – 08 – Faith AdventuresIf my wealth was measured by the quality of people I know well, I would be ten times richer than Bill Gates. One such quality person gave me the honour of visiting a group of us in July to deliver one of my favourite learning sessions of the year. Some people are reluctant to do […]
Read More YIR15 – 07 – The VerdictThings happen and sometimes it happens to get us to look at who we are as well as what we do in order to see if it makes sense to persist or to change. April was such a month for that type of reflection. It was done in the company of good people who gave […]
Read More YIR15 – 04 – Sober Reflection for Promising ProgressWhat I recall most about February was the need to deepen relationships. I was blessed to be visited by a dear friend who spent quality time opening my eyes to the riches of Kingdom Living. Having those experiences was a highly inspiring experience and it enthused me even in my work life where I began […]
