There are times when I’ve come across comments about the way things have worked in a given place. It has made me wonder, though, what if all the criticism misses the point? What if the system is actually working perfectly fine? What if the results that are being experienced are the ones that the system […]
Read More A Few Questions About Life and SystemsJesus, the Queen and the football manager. There was this football manager who had a reputation for being winning trophies. A club that had been out of the limelight for a number of decades hired him in the hope of resurrecting some of their former glories. Lo and behold against more established and successful clubs, […]
Read More Who Runs Things? In Practice And In NameThere are some hints and themes that pop up that give an indication of what might be there to work towards. The tabernacle was glorious and then the temple was glorious. Both of them were put together in ornate and considered fashion. They were splendid constructs designed to be a focal point for the presence […]
Read More Working TowardsRecently I was challenged about the language I use. I must confess, from time to time, to suit my particular sense of humour I can be rather pedantic about the semantics. Someone will say something and I will look for any opportunity to take what’s been said down a different avenue. The other person might […]

Read More Do My Eyes Deceive Me?He calls you to put your hands in His and follow Him. Why would you trust Him? There appears to be nothing to base it on. It might have worked for others, it doesn’t mean it will work for you. It makes me wonder what others in the past had to trust in? When they […]
Read More Trust and PromisesThere is definitely a place for routine and rhythm. Couldn’t really do without it. There’s a little bit of a problem though if those rhythms and routines become the only way by which life operates. We start at 11am and have always started at that time. We couldn’t possibly consider changing that. We usually have […]
Read More A Little Bit UnconventionalBreathing and hearing. There is a narrative outlining the beginning of humanity. That narrative starts with man being formed from the dust of the earth. Indeed it really is dust to dust when you see how the human form decomposes. What made man a living being was the capacity given to breath by a breath. […]
Read More Take A Breath And Hear ThisTimes must change and so do we. The nights are a good indicator. The days seemed to go on forever.
