Yes indeed, to repeat something that’s been mentioned one or two times today (maybe even three if we want to be technical) it is my birthday. I have a Facebook account and it was pleasant to read those who’d left a comment on there regarding the birthday and seeing the names of those who did […]
Read More The State of DMCD Address – Part OneI believe I’ve mentioned the power of story before, but very recent events bring me back to it. In as much as I’ve been a part of a family before – after all I grew up with my brother, sister, mother and father – I’ve never been in this position in a family before, namely […]
Read More Returning to the Power of the StoryI’m not writing this LIVE. When it comes to a Friday evening, sometimes I just prefer to do what it says on the tin (my tin, not yours, it works for me, doesn’t have to for you) and just rest. It’s the end of a working week, it’s a time to relax in the knowledge […]
Read More Oh Yeah That Moving ThingRecently I was having a go at the term ‘good luck’. From time to time I come across phrases and sayings that tickle me silly for one reason or another. I think of them and then think a bit more about them and get a quizzical look on my face that slowly changes to bafflement […]
Read More Safe and SoundFinally 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 […]
Read More Consider Yourself One Of The Family – Where I Am NowRecently I was writing about the kind of environment conducive to genuine praise and genuine community engagement in the light of the ‘spiritual covering’ practice. Read it for yourself by clicking for part one and part two. One aspect of the argument was about how we’re more likely to be ourselves when we’re at home. […]
Read More Consider Yourself … A PreambleI was challenged not too long to explain the reasons for my position on the identity of Jesus Christ. The challenge was laid out as a matter of urgency because what was at stake was the crucial pivotal point of life – who is worthy of worship. There are perceptions that suggest only God is […]
Read More What’s At StakeI cruised through a lot of my life as I may have mentioned before. I didn’t feel the need to be motivated to achieve much as I felt I already had it in me to complete whatever task assigned to me by just exercising my natural talents and abilities. This worked a great deal for […]
Read More HATAR – Fast Reflections – Busy Doing My HomeworkGetting the balance right is something to be very conscious about. There are many demands on your time, some put on you by others, some put on by yourself, some that appear urgent and important and some that appear not to be the case but actually they are. I recognise that life being lead by […]
Read More The Ongoing Quest Of Getting The Balance RightThe story often referred to as the Prodigal Son is a brilliant example of what the ministry of reconciliation is all about. In that story a fair bit of credit is given to the wastrel son as he comes to his senses and realises that he could get better quality food back at his home […]
