Pianists and guitarists have my unswerving admiration. Both musicians have a gift for creating soundscapes that few other instrumentalists can manage. There’s always been something I found interesting between the guitar and the keyboard. That large piece of equipment in the keyboard always appeared to require a lot to it. Whereas the guitar was a […]

It’s incessant repeating tune and vibration did not allow her to do anything other than stare annoyed at it. Not that she had been deep asleep. Not that she enjoyed a decent night’s sleep. Again. Just that the alarm ruined the usual delusion she gave […]
Read More It’s Just Another DayIt was one of those days. One friend had the link to help with starting projects. Later on another friend supplied some outlines that I could follow to succeed in the project. Hours elapsed and another friend offered outstanding insight on equipment that could be used to deliver on the project. Then as if that […]
Read More Remarkably ResourcefulTwo people agreeing on something is in itself something not to take for granted. That’s because it is easier to eventually reach a position where disagreement leads to division because of the disunity. That’s just between two people.

Read More Psalm 21 – God Save The KingThe word plea really captures the heart of this Psalm. Plea to God and a plea to people. The safety David finds in God at the conclusion of the Psalm is remarkable and reassuring, but it is the plea to the people in particular that caught my attention. Intriguing that David is calling people away […]
Read More Psalm 4 – PleaHe asked me if I was a sociable type. There was a friend we both knewwho definitely was a real social animal. That guy wouldn’t have a problem meeting someone and talking to them real friendly like. Me, on the other hand, that is an aspect that has not been a particular strength of mine. […]
Read More December Thanks #12: StrangersEncouraging others is something I enjoy. There is a great degree of delight in spotting something really good and where possible supporting the individual in doing that more often and developing that for the benefit of others. As a recipient of such encouragement, I know just how good it is to have the backing of […]
Read More Having the BackingBarnabas apparently was called that because he was the son of encouragement. How he supported Saul/Paul is clearly evidence of that. Loved the fact that he was the ‘name’ guy but was the platform to allow Paul to come to the fore. I love people who are all about being platforms for others to shine. […]
Read More Thank God for SupportersI am not a fan of the thought that everyone is brilliant. That’s not a slight on people at all. In fact it’s a reflection of the beauty and diversity of humanity that some people are brilliant and others are not. It’s not essential to being human to be brilliant. It is essential to be […]
