Genesis: 1 – Turn The Lights On

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. (Genesis 1:3-5) Welcome to the start of my […]

What’s The Plan?

I do think it’s important to have plans. Having plans are a good way to focus the mind on worthwhile activity – as long as it is worthwhile activity. I am very grateful for another twelve months blogging. My interest in doing it has increased in recent months and I plan to maintain this. Of […]

It tends to be those who […]

Distinctions

When I woke up this morning, I recognised, as I have done for a number of years now, that I am not my wife. Further inspection confirmed for me that I am not any of my daughters. I checked in the mirror and noticed that I am not even my brother. (I’m sure he’ll be […]

Foundational

When I reflect on my life, which I do from time to time, I realise that God loves me. Yeah. That’s right it’s a true story. Here’s what I notice. There are episodes where I need to be corrected and not just corrected on the surface, but corrected at the core of my character. He […]
