Recently I was thinking about what it is to live the Spirit-filled life. I had attended a church service, which, in my view, had a lot of good things were performance was concerned – acoustics, stagecraft, etc, but in terms of the human environment it seemed to be a little lacking. The service was somewhat […]
Read More What Did He Show You Today?Disorientation. Wonderful word. Use it in a conversation some time. The way you use it is when someone is evidently in a state where they don’t have their bearings, not quite in a place of knowing there they are going they are in a state of disorientation. Being lost as an experience brings about a […]
Read More Lost and SentWhatever the tradition, there is something really significant about the importance of remembering. The memory is bombarded with every new experience and event in life. Certain patterns can get the brain slowly being shaped by the immediate to such a degree that it can lose touch with key points that establishes the identity. That can […]
Read More Remember: The Past for the PresentThere’s a lot going on with him. He doesn’t say much when challenged about it, but it’s clear that there’s a lot going on with him. though he may bottle it all within. It is seen a little in his desire to fit in and feel like he belongs. His disruptive behaviour has brought some […]
Read More Patience, Conforming and ReconditioningThere’s a difference between a release valve and a redistribution mechanism. Sounds obvious when it’s written, but in practice it’s not the same. For example having taken on a week’s worth of work hassles and pressures on the job, some look forward to the end of the week having a drink or two (or more). […]
Read More The Release ValveMan alive, people can get really serious at times. Considering the beauty of creation, it doesn’t give me the impression that things are supposed to be all that serious. Wonder, amazement, joy and delight as part of life should not be rare. Tough things happen, sure. Responsibilities, of course, shouldn’t be taken glibly. There is […]
Read More It Should Be Fun TooIt is the world some live in. There is an incessant machine churning. It’s the machine of life that tells you to get up, get changed, get everyone sorted, get to work, get the job done, get home, get everyone sorted, get to bed, get some sleep to get up and start the whole thing […]
Read More Catching Up On Some ThingsThere are a variety of story-lines. All the stories involve a degree of animosity between two parties. The reasons for the animosity can vary. It could be friendly rivalry to establish the better party. It could be hostility over offences inflicted. Those can make for compelling stories in themselves and reason to see how the […]
Read More What Is It About The Wrestle?Broken. The pot was broken into little pieces. No one had an idea what to do, but it was clear that it could never be put back together again. It was broken too decisively. No craftsman or expert potter would be able to put that together again. Perhaps it would be better to just dispose […]
Read More Broken on PurposeWe sat down and talked about it. Twenty years is a long time. A long time where a lot happens. A lot happening some of which is worth remembering. Worth remembering because of what it says about the journey you’ve made to this point. A point where those things can be of use to remind […]
