Just to say how happy I am and honoured to have made it to 200 posts this year before the last quarter begins. I am really grateful to God for getting the level of consistency to this level. I’ve been rather poorly lately, but have battled on despite everything to carry on with things like […]
Read More Role of the Teacher and Praise PerspectivesYou may have noticed yesterday that the entry mentioned my mother. I may have mentioned before, family is very important to me, especially the immediate family in which I was brought up. I was brought up in an isolated background so my siblings and parents meant a great deal to me. Mum and Dad recently […]
Read More Thanks Father For My DadAuthrine. I had never come across a name like that before I met her and it’s not been that frequent that I’ve seen since I’ve met her. Indeed I’ve not come across an Authrine since. She is as unique as her name. I’ve known her for nearly ten years now. In that time I’ve continued […]
Read More SheIt’s good to reminisce now and again. I was just sitting here putting together the strands to various blogs and interspersed in all the writing and sorting I looked back on some of the earlier blog entries on this blog. It’s quite something reading about how I introduced my family and some social justice issues. […]
Read More Mentor Birthday and Other ThingsThanks. Simple word and full of more meaning than its letters allows. I do believe the more thankful we are the less likely we are to complain and see negatives.

Read More DMCD Songs: Grateful – John P. KeeIt is a pity I didn’t get to put on a post yesterday (Tuesday). I had just established a good pattern and rhythm of writing that saw me do the LJN around the midday hour and get the blog post here done by midnight. It was a rhythm that worked well and suited my needs […]
Read More ThankfullyGod’s Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled. There is no law against behaving in any of these ways. (Galatians 5:22, 23) Here are headlines you’re not likely to read: Simon Bailey arrested in kindness shocker! John Flynn sentenced after being gentle! Sue Mears imprisoned following speaking words of […]
Read More Words and Lives That Produce Tasty FruitYesterday my wife celebrated her birthday. She is not getting any younger, but someone’s forgot to tell her looks. Even last week someone thought she was in her early 20’s and was stunned when she informed them of her real age. I am incredibly blessed among other things to be married to a woman who […]
Read More About AuthrineI was walking along to withdraw some money to get some gas and electricity for our crib – we’re on a card system you see so we have to pay as you go. As I was walking along it occurred to me that with it already being the end of July then there’s only 152 […]
Read More Waddaya Mean It’s The End Of July Already?Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, (Eph. 3:20) Ephesians 3:20 is often used way out of context to justify the kind of ‘God as Tescos’ mentality of consumer Christianity. Thankfully Authrine is a living testimony of […]
