Starting it, maintaining it, developing it, cultivating it, maximising it, moving on from it. Various e stages that can take place in an initiative. From daily chores to audacious desire. It has been my privilege to be involved in some projects which went through those stages. One of the best bits is the start. The […]
Read More Today Is Just The StartWhen you listen to Jesus there are some very interesting things He says. Take this for example, Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For […]
Read More Be A Good HOST – HumilityThere’s this riff that Jesus has with his disciples and that’s referring to them as ‘you of little faith’. The little faith folks if you will. He would apply that riff whenever those disciples had got things slightly out of order. Why worry when God cares, you little faith folks? Why have you started sinking […]
Read More Just Making Sure Things Are In OrderSaying, “I love Jesus”, is a fairly easy thing to do. Get the words in mind, get them out of the mouth and it’s done. Showing I love Jesus is where the challenge always starts and ends. Anyone can say it, Jesus will be looking for folks who show it faithfully. With that in mind, […]
Read More Be A Good HOST – IntroductionThere was this conversation taking place between a friend and I. We were going through the things we believe we could not live without. To make things fair, we agreed to consider how things have changed in our lives from, twenty-five, twenty, fifteen and five years ago as well as today. You’d be fascinated to […]
Read More Without … NothingI don’t think we’ll ever get to a stage where heroes are out of vogue. Overtly or subconsciously there’s an encouragement to look up to folks. Perhaps it starts as a child and your first role models are the folks you look at who define and exemplify what life is like. You see them and […]
Read More Avoiding the Santa SyndromeYou can rely on Him, He is leading. It’s an ongoing challenge on a personal as well as a corporate level to appreciate how God is leading. Reading about the history of God’s chosen people and their ability to see shadows of Him leading and then essentially seek to replace His leadership with their own […]
Read More Aspects of LeadingIt’s interesting. There was a conversation I heard where two people were conversing about how the earth came about and why that matters today. Whatever your position on the matter is, it’s still interesting to know what people believe and why they believe it. I’m not against science or scientists, but the way one of […]
Read More To The Truth of the Matter: More Than An OpinionIt occurred to me that apt is probably a shortened way of saying appropriate. The sentiment behind both words are similar – it’s fitting, it’s on point, it’s right for the context. It occurred to me when I was reflecting on life at the moment and how March went. As implicit in the name, March […]
Read More Apt for April: A Dryden UpdateWhat I like is when people advise you to be careful when you pull on that thread. That’s not blatantly telling you not to pull on that thread. It’s just a word of advice to be careful when you pull on that thread. What thread is that? It’s that thread that begins when that question […]
