Recently I’ve come from a church setting that placed a high value on practicality. None of the pie in the sky when we die stuff. Nothing too aesthetic, philosophical or anything that required too much thought and meditation, as it were. Just do it. There’s a lot to be said for this mentality, this go […]
Read More MTP03 In Then OutIf any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. (James 1:5) And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom … And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favour with God and man. (Luke 2:40, 52) And […]
Read More MTP02 When It Comes To Wisdom – Go All Out For ItBeing a follower of Christ is not an automatic daily trek. There are elements of discipline to it and there are routines that help to build healthy habits once they are firmly embedded in life.

Read More Food, Focus, Football and ChangesBlogging is a bit like talking to an old trusted friend. Who has nothing to say in return. Instead just takes on board what it says and keeps it carefully. As you’d have read I love putting stuff on here and have been a bit more prolific of late, but in the last few days […]
Read More Just Another Late Night UpdateI was watching a faithful biblically accurate movie version of the book of Acts. I love the way the producers and filmmakers have turned out something that I can follow in the scripture and see presented.

Read More It’s All About The PeopleYou may recall a blog entry I posted around March/April outlining what was a manifesto pledge for what I’m all about.
