For the longest time, I’ve had a feeling that’s been gnawing away at me. The feeling that the conventional approach to life is largely unsatisfying. By that I am referring to the idea that life revolves around getting a job, getting a wife, getting money, getting on the property ladder, getting a motor, getting regular […]
Read More Journeyman Journal: A Gnawing Feeling About A Change Of Direction …Dad did a lot of good things for me. A lot. One of the best things, though, was to get me into enjoying walking. No not the rambling kind of taking a stick and needing hiking boots to walk up and down the mountain. Nah, not that kind of thing, just taking a stroll through […]

Their effect on the attitudes, behaviour and condition of people cannot be underestimated. Something happens. The words we use describe a picture and a narrative that we buy into.

When I saw the image, I loved it immediately and the name sunburst appealed to me. It highlighted for me what is so delightful about the sun bursting through the clouds lighting up […]
Read More About the SunburstIt’s good to get reminders that you don’t have time on your hands. Every moment in itself is precious. To just be. It’s important. To just be. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden
Read More No Time On Our HandsIt’s interesting to me to see well meaning people propose and promote positions with passion that essentially are pointless. It’s interesting and somewhat tragic.
