For a community of people who are meant to be freed and released to confess faults one to another, there aren’t half a lot of stuff that goes unconfessed. What I particularly enjoy about this clip is how practical and relevant it is not just for principles in a marriage relationship for disclosure, but how […]
Read More Confessing LustI’m not in a tricky position, but I am in an interesting scenario that I reckon one or two people might understand. I’m working for a training organisation that respects equal opportunities and celebrates diversity in no way looking to enforce one view over another (although even that is enforcing the false view of not […]
Read More Anything Wrong With Person-Centred Counselling?I was just informed by my sister recently that my Aunt Nalda has died. She was suffering for quite a while so in one sense it’s the end of the suffering, on the other hand though, more importantly, someone in the family has died. My mum’s sister has died. Life is for the living. Life […]
Read More For The Living – In Times Of ConsolationDon Moen. Don’t know him. Heard some of his songs, still don’t know him. Seen him in a few videos and still don’t know him. What I will say about the fella, though, is that he knows how to put together a good song for the purpose of engaging our hearts and minds to the […]
Read More Our Father – Don MoenThis post brings to a conclusion a mini-series I’ve done since last night on different versions of this one song.

Developing on that, though, I came across the familiar passage of scripture that preoccupied my thoughts for the majority of last […]
Read More A Bit To The Left, A Bit To The Right – About PositioningThe mind. What an amazingly complex and fascinating construct it is. From the mind activities, views and language flows.. The right mind can lead to so much good being done where the mind messed up can likewise lead to unimaginable horror. I work in an area of society with a lot of people with messed […]
Read More Get Motivation! Making Your Mind UpSkeletons in the closet. What a wonderful phrase and a concept that says so much about our tendency to not be completely transparent about who we are. It doesn’t have to be anything major, but it’s enough for us to store it away in the hope that no one will ever choose to investigate that […]
Read More Skeletons in the ClosetYou ever get yourself into that kind of tight spot and wonder what have you done? Sometimes in those tight situations that question isn’t so much why you did what you did. Sometimes what you did was right, but tight spots like hot-spots are not good spots. Yet it’s in those spots that we can […]
Read More HATAR – What Have I DoneFinally we complete the mini-series that I’ve been writing about the family and my developing understanding of the this crucial foundation of society. It would be useful to summarise how I came to this point with a couple of dating scenarios. In January 1990 I was a 12 year old boy whose concept of family […]
