Basing life purely off what your senses pick up must be quite draining. Really and truly we don’t just base life off that. There are some things that support that. There are some ideas that underpin our views, even if they’re mixed and somewhat confused if you were to consider them carefully. There might be […]
Read More You’re Better Off Believing?There is a sort of intellectual agnosticism that has a problem with some expressions of faith. It is not outright atheism because it is not so committed to ruling out divine influences. Its content knowing that there’s things beyond its understanding. Maybe there’s divinity somewhere, maybe not, but they don’t get hung up on it. […]
Read More Is It The Hope That Kills You?It has been a couple of months since I last shared an update. Quite a bit has happened since then. The big news for us was a family trip to America. God made the way (and I really mean He made the way) for us to make the journey to the States. For four of […]

Read More Dryden Shorts: Acknowledging the HabitThere are few television programmes that my whole family will watch together. One of them is old re-runs of Family Fortunes. (Yeah American cousins, you might have Family Feuds.) What we love about it are the various dynamics that makes the show so well done.
