There is always a time for a clean out. I was looking at the contacts on my mobile phone and deleting those that it was clear had surpassed their usefulness. You know the ones. They’ve taken up space in there and you contact only once in a while and even there the contact isn’t that […]
Read More Not Everyone Will Go With You …I realised a while ago that I have the capacity to become a complete recluse. I could more than capably choose to close myself off from effective engagement with humanity. It would not bother me in the slightest as at least on the surface I could quite contentedly cope on my own. This is a […]
Read More Relishing RelationshipsHere is how this lesson was taught to me. I’ve been in my current place of employment since April and in that time I’ve developed good working relations with the other colleagues who form the work team.

I was about to respond to the informant that surely that’s a nonsense as all days equally have 24 hours until I was further informed that it was meant that today would have the longest daylight hours in the year.

I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Mark 2:12) Something that should always be part of the thinking of inviting people to the Kingdom, is that this is a […]
Read More Insights From Mark – Here For The SickSchools, elderly homes, cadets, brownies, scouts, colleges and churches have something in common. They all thrive on the separation of generations. These institutions and more are built on the premise that the best way to serve the particular needs on offer is to put them in various generational groupings. Interesting to note church being on […]
Read More The Generation Game – Church EditionAfter John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee and told the good news that comes from God. He said, “The time has come! God’s kingdom will soon be here. Turn back to God and believe the good news!” (Mark 1:14, 15 – CEV) Reading this part of Mark bugged me. It bugged me for a […]
