Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? (Ecclesiastes 4:11 ESV) One of the things I am reading is a book by Peter Doggett called You Never Give Me Your Money recounting the events that lead to the end of the Beatles and what happened afterwards. It’s a […]
Read More Journeyman Journal – TogetherThe command regarding not unlawfully taking another life is not just a prohibition. All human life is sacred and valuable as reflection of the image of God. That is not just something we acknowledge in stopping from illegally taking. It’s something we acknowledge in actively celebrating life. We have an idea about that when it […]
Read More Journeyman Journal – CelebrateAll human life has value. To unlawfully take human life is one of the worst things one human does to another. Indeed it is such a crime that it’s one of the first things God deals with after the flood – the consequence for the unlawful taking of a life. “Whoever sheds the blood of […]
Read More Journeyman Journal – PricelessIf we don’t breathe we don’t live. I recently considered what sort of things happen to stop the breathing. Lack of food and drink certainly can contribute to the end of living. More critically, real concern comes from the actions we carry out that stifle people and that stifling leads to strangling the life out […]

Read More A Look at Luke 1 – Zechariah’s JourneyThe first commandment with a promise of the positive kind refers to honouring parents. The promise attached refers to living long in the promised land. It’s interesting that the promise is about living long. The thought of living long for some leaves them petrified. The image of getting old, losing some sense and ending up […]
Read More Journeyman Journal – LongIt is simple to some, but it remains fascinating to me how my Mum did it. The rudimentary ingredients were in the kitchen, it didn’t look like much, but somehow by the work of her hands and her heart before too long a filling, delicious and glorious meal was presented for the eating. I didn’t […]
Read More Journeyman Journal – NurtureAnswering the question ‘Who Am I?” usually leads to follow up questions like “Where do I come from?” Learning about where you come from can be a cultural exercise and a long jaunt through the history of peoples and places. It best starts, however, with a series of ongoing conversations with those that got you […]
Read More Journeyman Journal – SourceIt’s a great pleasure to have spent time with truly great people. Their approach to life and level of effort continues to challenge me with a work ethic second to none.
