Protect Them

Why did they need protection? There is a prayer in which Jesus asked God to do something for His disciples. Protect them. Jesus did a good job keeping all those that were given to Him except for the one that was destined for destruction. They believed in Him and He took them to be His […]

The Making Of A Superb Show

What is the key behind a good performance? Whether it is play shown at the theatre, a film shown at the cinema or a programme/series shown on whatever viewing device you wish to use, our eyes take in a performance. We see, we hear and thus consume an experience that is designed to stimulate a […]

About Tentative First Steps

There are those gung-ho types. They decide to do something. They have that steely determination. They just get on with it and go boldly into it. There’s a lot to admire about those types of people. Having been in their company for a number of years, I have been really impressed by that capacity in […]
