In recent times things have been a little busy for me. Family life is still the priority for me and that expresses itself in different ways. Paid work takes its time, then there are other responsibilities that demand my attention. In it all it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and then I remember. There […]
Read More Breaking and MouldingWe were doing a group task. Adults mostly over the age of 30, many with young children and many who were coming from hard days at work. I could understand if some of them were tired and just wanted to be fed stuff to passively take in for future reference. Yet all of them were […]
Read More Untapped No LongerIt’s funny how I remember some things. The other day I was reflecting on the account of creation in Genesis. I love contemplating on that beautiful account of God and the world we live in. I was thinking of lessons to learn from the account, like things starting in a mess but ending up very […]
Read More Looking Back, Going ForwardAthletics? Nah. I used to run a bit at school, but in my younger years. Then I got to the stage where I didn’t like running so much. I much prefer walking. As for watching athletics, it was one of the few things my Dad would watch on TV. So I watched races and was […]
Read More Run to Win but not be DisqualifiedI look at myself sometimes and think what a lethargic, lazy slob I am. I quickly shake myself from that and get to the meat of the matter of how I am to be. This week in particular, scriptures about training have come up big time. Like this one.

He was talking about wider issues, but he was still talking to me. “Can you not see?” People are there who are more than capable of helping in the situation. Opportunities are wide open for exploring and maximising. Relationships were there to be developed and invested in. The […]
Read More Can You Not See?When I come across videos like this it can be challenging at the best of times. When I watch a video like this in a time like this time of my life, it has great potential to make matters worse. So rather than go into it in any great detail, it is worth saying that […]
Read More Adopted Rather Than In An OrphanageUntil I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. (1 Timothy 4:13) Not everyone can read out loud with confidence. Whether it’s because English is not their first language, or they were discouraged from reading out when they were younger, there’s something unusual about some opening the scripture and […]
Read More For Reading Out LoudAmong other things that have happened this year has been the growing appreciation for others who excel in the areas I love. I have come across some brilliant creative types who have helped me considerably by displaying their creative prowess. That has reminded me that I got into blogging and persisted in it because of […]
