Certainty isn’t all its cracked up to be. My friend and I were walking and talking. He shared some amazing real stories about his life before Christ. It was incredible learning of the times where his life was saved, when decisions he would never have made otherwise were made by strange quirks of life. It […]
Read More It’s A MysteryI was in this event recently and one of the speakers said something that is still profound. A problem starts when people prioritise what they do over who they are. When that happens there’s a tendency to be activity driven with a character deficit. The whole life existence involves both it is fundamental, however when […]
Read More Answering The Identity Question In A Snapshot of DavidIn my passion and excitement, sometimes I talk too fast. Over the years hanging about with people who talk for a living I have grown to really admire their ability to pace their talking. I don’t necessarily subscribe to the extended monologue, but I do note how people who talk can get their message across […]
Read More A Matter Of PacingI must applaud my wife. Not because she’s threatening me with violence should I choose not to. I do so because she is truly a woman who gets stuck into anything she commits herself to. She watched the first episode of the new Daredevil series on Netflix and got proper stuck into the drama from […]
Read More Compelling Viewing, Compelling LivingI used to get hung up on finding the right balance. Being a husband, a Dad, a brother, an employee, a trainer, a civilian and all the other hats and responsibilities I had would be rather demanding.

It’s enough for me to make the most of the little that I know before getting greedy about looking for knowledge and understanding on everything. What I am reminded of fairly often is that even what I know should not be taken […]
Read More Tweaking ItMen and brethren, what shall we do? Do you understand what you’re reading? Here’s water, what’s stopping me getting baptised? When the King heard the words, he rent his clothes and called for national reform. When he recovered his sight and got baptised, filled with the Spirit he went about preaching the good news. These […]
Read More How Now Should We Live?Paul encourages the church in Corinth something rather interesting. In 1 Corinthians 15:51 Paul says that not everyone will sleep but they shall all be changed. Of course that promise doesn’t mean much until we appreciate what we’re being changed from and we’re being changed to. The contrasts given are stunning – death to imperishable […]
Read More We Will All Be ChangedHumbly walking before God leaves no room for pride. I don’t presume to put my name in a blog entry because usually it’s not necessary. Indeed at the end of the day it’s not even about what I think about pride, it’s about what God thinks about it. Yet I felt it was good to […]
Read More Dryden On PrideTrue story. Last December – that’s right less than four months ago – I did an Emergency First Aid at Work course. This was a one day course that covered some aspects of First Aid at a basic level. Among other elements we learnt in the session was CPR and how to put someone in […]
