Coming across this video helped tremendously understand more about the importance of something that is not always seen easily. I am grateful for opportunities like this to consider why Jesus did it and what we should learn from it. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden
Read More Why Did Jesus Curse the Fig Tree?We were talking as we usually do and he mentioned something about someone being upset that they had not been contacted in a while. That started something off in me that was not going to settle down in a hurry. What was at stake was the very nature of church. For some it’s enough to […]
Read More There’s More To It Than That: Church AgainJesus was spot on – it is more blessed to give than receive. Unfortunately, some have taken this too far and don’t know how to receive and get very awkward and uncomfortable when it comes to receiving. My wife put it so well in a conversation we had recently.

It was obviously legible enough to give teachers the impression I knew what was going on, but I am fairly certain I helped a number of those teachers need glasses such was the squinting and the working out what was what. All that handwriting and joined […]
Read More The Writer ThingExternal circumstances can create a lot of challenging situations. If there is a lack of certain fundamental aspects of the physical life we will deteriorate.

Read More What They Cannot ContainI love me some Walter Hawkins and recently whilst doing some other work I treated myself to hearing a lot of his music again. It proved to be a valuable aid in the completion of my work. The music he produced with his choir featuring some outstanding vocal talent singing great truths of life with […]
Read More I’m Going Away … KindaYesterday my nephew celebrated his birthday. I have two nephews who are great little boys, which is great credit to their parents.
