He calls you to put your hands in His and follow Him. Why would you trust Him? There appears to be nothing to base it on. It might have worked for others, it doesn’t mean it will work for you. It makes me wonder what others in the past had to trust in? When they […]
Read More Trust and PromisesThere is definitely a place for routine and rhythm. Couldn’t really do without it. There’s a little bit of a problem though if those rhythms and routines become the only way by which life operates. We start at 11am and have always started at that time. We couldn’t possibly consider changing that. We usually have […]
Read More A Little Bit UnconventionalWisdom. It’s crucial. It’s crucial especially in the instance of knowing when to keep going under trying circumstances and when to notice that those trying circumstances are massive indicators that you should stop and move on. I am convinced through what I’ve observed on my brief time on the planet, that some people have not […]
Read More About Wisdom To Know When To Go Or StayThere’s an interesting episode in the old scriptures. King David has been ousted by Absalom, his own son in a coup that has shocked the nation. Absalom has been able to curry favour with the people in a remarkable PR campaign. Such is his popularity that he gains access to the palace and his old […]

I’m not always one for those public occasions, but when a good friend invites you, then it’s the least I can do to show up and celebrate the blessings of the Lord.

The thing about having Thursday as the favourite day of the week is that it heightens the capacity to look for the […]
Read More Stick or Twist: A Dryden UpdateReading some of the Proverbs recently, got me thinking. Some read these and consider them to be common sense. Yet if experience teaches you anything, is that common sense isn’t all that common. That’s why it’s worth noting these principles and worth seeing how important they can be to advised approaches to living. There is […]
Read More A Brief Word on Wisdom and Common SenseBe not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases. For when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him. (Psalms 49:16-17 ESV) We can get hung up on the gross injustices around us. After all, it is just not fair that some […]
Read More Psalm 49 – The Perspective that MattersThe way Wisdom describes herself in Proverbs 8 continues to be one of the strongest and most attractive arguments for loving wisdom I have come across. Just hearing her declare what she has, what she does and how much she benefits anyone who seeks her, makes it maddening that we ignore her. After a period […]
Read More Fruit of Wisdom (The Fruit Series 17)I am not sure where it comes from. It would not surprise me if things like the Protestant Ethic were highly influential in its promotion. What I am referring to is the way that people believe things get better if you work harder. By work harder, the expression usually involves appearing to apply more pressure […]
