Conversation can be a beautiful thing. I have found sometimes a good conversation can be better than a good meal. Just to share ideas, concerns, thoughts. It’s great. In relating to God, some followers still underestimate the value of prayer as critical in the divine conversation. It’s either treated with neglect or disrespect. It’s like […]
Read More Thank God for … PrayerThere’s no need to think about there being a reason for everything. I think getting hung up on the reason for anything and everything distracts from the things that matter. Identity is something I have got hung up on for years. One of the reassuring things about having good people in my life is they […]
Read More Thank God for … PurposeThe journey of following Jesus is about living in the now and the yet to come. So His Kingdom is now and yet to come. His presence is here now and He is yet to come. One particular truth in this series is the life of wholeness. A restored relationship with God actually declares wholeness […]
Read More Thank God for … WholenessI love the concept of being nourished. It’s not just having food and drink physically, it’s more than that. It’s that which maintains complete health – food, drink, conversation, bathing, etc. Sometimes I hear of those who lack essential resources like clean water. Efforts are made to supply it by the caring and compassionate. Yet […]
Read More Thank God for … NourishmentI have done the loner bit for a long time. Sometimes the nature of my employment has reinforced the lone ranger approach.

Read More Thank God for … TeamIn a world of darkness, it makes such a difference. In a world of ignorance, it is transformative. In a world of confusion, it delivers clarity. It may not change those entrenched in their dark, ignorant confusion, but those who come across it can never deny it even as they neglect it. Life would make […]
Read More Thank God for … LightI don’t keep a diary, but sometimes I make notes. As a result there are notes of things I have thought over the years. From time to time I enjoy reflecting on those words and where I was when I wrote them. There have been some really dark times in my life. Truly, deeply dark. […]
Read More Thank God for … Dark TimesI love the saying, it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. I have spent years drinking in lots of information from books and visual media. Back in the day my best friend was the library. I don’t regret those days, I read some good books and watched some fascinating documentaries. What has happened […]
Read More Thank God for … ConnectionsThe senses are a wonder. All of them are worth appreciating especially in how they connect with our minds to shape and define our world. Being able to hear is a sense I am keen to celebrate. The worlds that open up at the soundscapes that my ears have been blessed by over the years […]
Read More Thank God for … SoundI was listening to this couple. They have three children all aged under 13. The couple shared about the tremendous sacrifices their parents and then older siblings made for them. Sitting there, hearing these stories and looking at the way they cared for their children allowed me to reflect on the importance of generations. For […]
