Stumbling and fumbling and bumbling around. Not having a clue what to do, not having a clue where I’m going, not having a clue about anything except for the apparent need to do something or else I’m not really alive. For all that, though, it’s still just stumbling and fumbling and bumbling. Anything good or […]
Read More Focus On The Light To Lead The WayOne of the encouraging things that came across in his speech on endurance, was how focusing on Jesus would help us to endure. It was particularly appropriate having heard about Jesus being the author and finisher of our faith. If we can focus on Him, He is sure to help us endure. He gives us […]

He was such a great sportsman, his brilliance brought people to their feet in rapturous applause and adulation.

Read More A Grace Insight: Look Beyond To SeeIt’s interesting listening to what different people say about their experiences of it. I remember being in a small gathering (small in the number of physical occupants, but significantly bigger in other aspects). Someone started singing the hymn, I Stand Amazed.

It’s where we started the story, but that’s not always where the story starts. Sometimes in digging around, there’s a fascinating lead up to the story we know. For […]
Read More Before We BeginThe journey. Sometimes it feels fresh and revitalised. You might have come across something about Jesus that has a profound impact on your life. That initial approach to life is almost wide-eyed and bushy-tailed. What can you do applying this new insight into Jesus? How will it go when you do so? All those marvelled […]
Read More Not Too Far To GoThe writing that takes place here can come from various points. Sometimes they come from a thought I have on the day. Sometimes they come from something I heard or read. Sometimes they come from an experience I’ve had. Sometimes it comes from an experience I’ve observed. There are other ways in which these pieces […]
Read More Lighthouse and Light HomeIt never fails to fascinate me. Two people are in the same situation but respond to it in such contrasting ways that it makes you wonder if they really are in the same situation. Then on closer inspection it is apparent that one has some light on the predicament that gives them an approach to […]
Read More In The Light Of The CircumstancesRecently I was reminded of the joy of tens. With the theme of this month, it made sense to celebrate the occasion by considering some benefits (around ten) of the Light.
