Revealed: He Can Be Known

There are two types to look out for. The observer and the conversationalist. The first is the classic silent observer. She doesn’t talk that much in the gatherings, but you can tell she is engaged. She picks up everything that’s going on. She discerns clearly both what is going on and the states of all […]

Taking Him At His Word

I get very tearful from time to time. The tears are very rarely out of sadness. They are tears expressing amazing admiration and gratitude for the grace and kindness of God. Wondering at His greatness and experiencing His faithfulness in the mundane as well as the marvellous. I take to heart the episodes of Jesus […]

Jesus, I Come

Delete It

I have had my email account for nearly 15 years. Typing that makes me think. 15 years. Wowsers. People have been locked up for less. In any case, in that time I’ve picked up a few habits. One of those habits is to be really organised with the incoming emails. I like to subscribe to […]

Challenging The Way Things Are

I am not a subscriber to the sentiment that talk is cheap. I have a fair idea where it comes from. There’s a lot of talk about how bad something is without anything done about it. Politicians talk about what they will do to make things better. People vote for them and are disappointed to […]
