There is something about the customer service industry and the consumer culture that thrives on something actually very positive. A lot is invested in giving customer satisfaction through the quality of service offered. Professional and efficient, timely and courteous, the values are fairly well known from company to company. The delivery of these qualities on […]
Read More An Acceptable AttitudeThey told me I was living in a fantasy. They told me I needed to wake up from my dreaming and face reality. What was that reality? Who defined that reality? What made it so real? Perhaps it was explained by science, maybe that had all the answers. But appeared to operate on theories and […]
Read More Accept RealityDo not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:2) My experience of that period of my life was not so much about being a rebel to my parents. I […]
Read More Acceptable To Who?Jesus says some really interesting things. Come to me, I will give you rest, take my yolk, learn of me, my yolk is easy and my burden is light. Whoever comes to me, I will never cast out. These and other sayings and experiences in the ministry of Jesus makes it clear that He is […]

He is not under contractual duties to lead in a way that makes those that follow comfortable and always content. He is not even morally compelled to lead in a way that we would […]
Read More Trust Him – He Will Lead UsI remember holding on tightly. Not that it hurt him particularly, because this five year-old’s grip on the man’s hand was hardly going to leave a massive impression. I gripped it though. I gripped it for all it was worth, because it was a sign of safety. It was a sign that all was well […]
Read More Holding OnIt is one of the smartest things I’ve witnessed. Often in my life I’m very much aware that it is only me. Nobody else is me and nobody else has lived my life and is living my life. Following that route, it’s also a reality that there are things that concern me that I feel […]
Read More The Call to Giving As LivingTo a large degree it is a pity. It is a pity that the word ‘work’ is not as celebrated as it should be. It is a pity that more focus is given to leisure and pastime activities than celebrating work. It is an understandable pity. After all, for a number of people they are […]
Read More That Work CallThere was no question with God as there was for the agonising Hamlet. There was the call to be. As the culmination of His creation reflecting Him in all He was. His first call to humanity was to be fruitful. Being fruitful in a very real way was continuing to be who He created humanity […]
