So yesterday I’m celebrating me sister’s birthday and eventually get to speak to her today – being so busy with all her calls and stuff was obviously very tiring work. Anyway, whilst conversing I come across a phrase that I never considered properly until it came out of my mouth. “It’s the least I could […]
Read More It’s The Least I Could DoI 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 StoryThis has been due to be written for quite some time. You may have remembered how I had to postpone it because of an outpouring on the issue of injustices and the like. This is entry is based on some of the activities I’ve been up to at work. We do these pre-designed modules in […]
Read More EssentialsI’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 ThingIf you ever get the chance, there’s a Jon Gibson song I really recommend you listen to called On Calvary. You might get it on iTunes, or Amazon, but obviously for both himself and meself it would be better if you just got it direct from his own web-site in the Buy Music section under […]
Read More Why I Love Jesus and Why I Love What I DoFrom time to time I get in those phases of thought on issues that concern more than me. Recently, I was informed by a close personal friend that someone I knew was struggling with their sexual identity. Sadly for the individual in question they belonged to certain church-folk who … to put it politely … […]
Read More Community of Compassion or Community of Hypocrisy?This evening’s entry was scheduled to be on Essentials, but some news I received today sent me over the edge and something I had planned to write on later has to be expressed now at least in part. I don’t know if you’ve ever raged at God, but I know I have. I’ve been aware […]
Read More On Outrages, Injustices, Travesties and TraumasSo much for the hiatus, eh? There were technical difficulties, honest. Me laptop was playing something silly, but I guess what happened was that I just got used to accessing the little netbook of me wife and got me fingers around how small it is. Indeed as the consolation of the beggar and pauper suggests, […]
Read More What I’ve Been Reading LatelyI’m still amused by the mentality of not talking about religion or politics around the dinner table. Or like in The Godfather where you’re not allowed to talk about business around the family dinner table. Those things make me chuckle. What I chuckle about is how silly that rule is, where else can you get […]
Read More Spiritual and Political – Whether We Like It Or NotI’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 […]
