“Are you happy?” That is what a dear friend of mine asked. As it was a text it was more in text speech – but this is not a text and so you get the point of the question. There were other questions attached to it which stimulated this blog entry. Apparently my cousins across […]
Read More Happiness and Joy in the Life of a Believer: A Brother’s BeliefI don’t know the genius who came up with just bottling blackcurrant juice as a concentrate, and then getting people to buy it a dilute it. I don’t know the genius, but every night for the last five nights I have prayed a blessing on him/her and his/her family. Truly when my chest feels sore, […]
Read More Thank God For Hot RibenaWhile others love the summer sun and some enjoy the new life of spring, with the proponents for the golden leaves of Autumn, I have to stake my claim in saying my favourite season of the cycle is Winter. One of the things I love about the season is how it’s a season of death, […]
Read More Hibernation and PreparationI sat around today in a family gathering and people were exchanging gifts. Don’t know what that was all about. What it triggered off though was an amazing gift a man, who wasn’t born anywhere near this date, spoke of to some listeners. The context is important. He was talking of how a good shepherd […]
Read More Abundant LifeA highly valued and beloved work colleague shared this real life story of her children that sounded very familiar to me and my upbringing, but on this occasion really made me think about what that says about the human condition. The mother has three children. They are all brought up with the need to respect […]
Read More Human Condition In A Nutshell: The DishwasherThis one is for HoneyLil, a regular reader and more importantly a sister who for years I’ve long admired and looked up to as a good example of faithfulness. It’s inspired by words she gave to me recently. One of the reasons why this blog is NOT a straightforward ‘bible devotional’ or ‘discipleship journal’ brimming […]
Read More Realities Of Following The MasterI was reading more of the Jesus Manifesto today – book by Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola. Came across a section where they looked at how to measure a good day and a bad day. It refers to a brilliant Chinese proverb … which I would tell you, but seriously you might as well buy […]
Read More All The DaysI wake up at 6am and can afford to stretch and yawn away the last remains of a thoroughly rested night’s sleep. Quietly tip-toeing to grab me gown, I make me way to the shower and brush me teeth and have an eye-opening shower to get into the swing of a new day. Getting changed […]
Read More Dreaming Of A Good DayI’m not sure if laughter is the best medicine. I’m fairly certain it’s very good. (I write this while still getting over laughing at the movie Airplane – that is a hilarious film.) It’s good because in a moment of the purest laughter free of malice and cynicism there is a release of something positive […]
Read More Laughter – A Very Good MedicineNot long ago I was looking at how we can be programmed into viewing life in a certain way. I saw this picture and it reminded me of that programming that can often be the routine for people’s lives. May not be an office job but it’s some cycle they get themselves into which doesn’t […]
