In the last entry I introduced this brief series with some door to door experiences I’ve had recently. As I mentioned, those experiences reminded me of my own brief foray into door to door life. Back at the end of the 20th Century I had got meself heavily involved in church work on a voluntary […]
Read More Body Building and the Door to Door Experience – Part TwoThis is the final part of a short series of lessons I’ve come across whilst I’ve been on a walk. (Part One and Part Two can be found in clicking the links.) 1. Follow The Man Who Knows: Of course by ‘man’ that can refer to ‘woman’ as well. By this I am referring to […]

Though The Sun Shines Now It Won’t Always Shine But … I appreciate that I live among people who love the sun. I can understand why they love the sun, seeing as though it is not a regular part of […]
Read More Lessons Learnt On A Walk – Part TwoOver the next few entries, I’ll be sharing some lessons I’ve learnt from a walk I’ve been on with a friend. 1. Walking the journey with Christ with others. Of course I have my responsibility to look at and I won’t be able to blame anyone else if I don’t do what I’m called to […]

Read More Going Back To The OldAs you know, I love football. I don’t play it, obviously, because that would require physical effort that has already been spent getting the can of ginger beer and me laptop ready to watch it and converse about it.

If you’re not a football fan, no worries, the point isn’t about football as you’ll discover. It’s 1961 and 40 years after their […]
Read More Oh Yeah, It Was Right Under My NoseA Disclaimer: God’s Mysterious Sovereignty God works how He wants to work. Some scandalous, bizarre, crazy situations have been a part of His plan all along. Some of the most dubious characters have been the means by which He chooses to speak to His people. The discerning spirit is so important so as not to […]
Read More It’s Not All About Technique: Real Power in Real Broken VesselsThe Problem With People: A Personal Perspective Getting on with people isn’t that easy.
