As a boy my interests were in reading and football. In that order. It helped then, that one of my favourite things to read about was football. Of course I watched it as well. I wanted to be like two players – John Barnes and Peter Beardsley. They played the game in an exciting way […]
Read More Someone Better Down The RoadRecently I had the privilege of sitting with some very wise and sound brothers. It is a true story that I do well when I sit with some very wise and sound brothers. Among other things, they pointed me to a particular scripture. I don’t really quote such large tracts of scripture, but this one […]
Read More Something About Cleaning UpIt was my delight and honour to get to attend their wedding. 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. It’s a real treat as well to get to listen to […]
Read More Avoiding Complacency: There’s Always More …April really has to be action month for me. I’ve allowed myself the winter months for hibernation and contemplation, but I appreciate that April – where the spring kicks in – truly has to be a time of action.

Great time to look at what’s gone and what is to come as well as just stopping and being grateful for being here. One of the highlights of the first […]
Read More A Quarter Past – A Dryden UpdateIt was miraculous. There was this wedding reception that I had the privilege of attending. It was a truly miraculous reception. Historically I have attended the ones where those giving speeches don’t understand the concept of time and go awkwardly beyond the point of being humorous to seriously testing the capacity to wait. This particular […]
Read More That’s FreshThere is a method of operating in life that roughly goes as follows. You will do something a particular way because it is what you are used to. This will happen until someone comes along or something happens that challenges how you do what you do. If an alternative is presented that gets you a […]
Read More ReorganiseI don’t dance. I have a great sense of rhythm and I appreciate things done in good rhythm. I know a good dancer when I see one and I am blessed to have a household of women who love to dance any opportunity they get and they dance well. I don’t dance. It’s not that […]
Read More Dance with YouThere’s this bit in the book of Acts where it’s recorded that Paul and his apostolic team were stopped from going somewhere because of the Spirit of God. I could of course give you the exact scripture location, but I genuinely enjoy from time to time encouraging you to search it out and see if […]
