Recently I was thinking about what it is to live the Spirit-filled life. I had attended a church service, which, in my view, had a lot of good things were performance was concerned – acoustics, stagecraft, etc, but in terms of the human environment it seemed to be a little lacking. The service was somewhat […]
Read More What Did He Show You Today?It’s not just that you need the space. It’s that the space has to be cultivated to be fit for purpose. For some that space is physical. They need a certain size of area to be just right with the right dimensions in which the work can begin. It could be the size of paper […]
Read More Is There Room to Flourish?It was the way he mentioned longing that really resonated with me. There’s been so much talk about feeling at home with your own culture. People wanting to return to where they’re comfortable and that comfort is defined by certain hallmarks of the background. Style of music, clothes, expression, etc. So much in the way […]
Read More LongingIt’s fascinating seeing what’s the right way to carry across whatever is needed for a particular occasion. To rescue a family and a zoo it took a large ark. To maintain a presence with a people on the move it required a tent. To establish the presence among a settled people in a promised land […]

Read More Hope of Harmony – But Not As We ExpectIt’s something that you see in the football, that’s not just about the football. They’re not playing well. It must be the manager. He’s not getting the best out of them. They should be playing a lot better than that. They’re not playing for the manager. They’re not playing well. For the amount that was […]
Read More When They’re Not Playing WellJust thinking out loud. “We’re in a results driven business.” “At the end of the day, it’s what you bring in that matters.” “You know you have to take responsibility for the situation and believe you can turn it around.” Success is measured by the tangibles and the stats don’t lie. The attendance has dropped […]
Read More The Business We’re InThere is a lot of negativity going around in that environment. It is as if a cycle operates with following key points. Something bad happens; someone highlights the bad that happened; someone else emphasises the highlights of the bad that happened; someone else chips in with analysis on the emphasised highlights of the bad thing […]

Then you’re getting them to do things on their own and as soon as they are well into doing things on their own, in the last part, they need help to get things done. It’s tough really, because although there’s plenty to be said for […]
