I am reliably informed that across the pond folks be celebrating something with a Turkey. I came across this video by John Green who I enjoy which fits in so superbly with the theme. So I am giving thanks for John Green and for also knowing that the basics are covered. For His Name’s Sake […]
Read More For Those Who Have The Basics CoveredThanks. The expression of gratitude is a great habit to practice and when it comes to birthdays it’s an even better time to put that habit to good effect. I Was There I have little to no great recollection of where I was about this time last year. In general, however, I know that I […]
Read More I Was There, I Am Here, I’m Going SomewhereIt’s sad, then, seeing people not perform in their best positions. It’s just as sad, though, seeing people play in the right position but in the wrong system. It sounds odd, but hear me out. There are talented keyboardists, flautists, guitarists, drummers, programmers, trumpeteers, cellists, piccolo players and the sort who are playing very well, […]
Read More The Team: Playing The Right SystemWhat often triggers it is a visit to the school. There they all are in their uniform, diverse in shape, size, features and ethnicity though they are, they are all in a uniform and are expected to abide by the principles of the school.

I am, however, a huge fan of the role of music in life. I love the melody, the harmony, the bass and the rhythm. I notice that there’s rhythms to life. What I particularly […]
Read More On About The RhythmThere are plenty of things that occupy the mind and they are all competing for space to take prominence in the mind. People make comments, you read something, there’s something on the radio, someone mentions a tune you love, you receive a message with a link to an article, the reminder tells you that you’re scheduled […]
Read More Making the Most of the CapacityWe were talking as we usually do and he mentioned something about someone being upset that they had not been contacted in a while. That started something off in me that was not going to settle down in a hurry. What was at stake was the very nature of church. For some it’s enough to […]
Read More There’s More To It Than That: Church AgainJesus was spot on – it is more blessed to give than receive. Unfortunately, some have taken this too far and don’t know how to receive and get very awkward and uncomfortable when it comes to receiving. My wife put it so well in a conversation we had recently. She remarked how a friend of […]
Read More The Blessing is in BothThis week has been incredibly taxing and challenging for me. As a result it’s put pressure on the rest of my family, thank God, though, they have been very resilient through it all and one aspect of the intensity is complete. For all that exertion, tension and pressure there has been a number of positive […]
