I was reminded recently of the different roles we take in life. Observer – things happen and we can come across them with little to no interest in it. Spectator – we take more interest in what’s going on. We enjoy watching and even mention approval or disapproval, but that’s the level we go and […]
Read More Observer, Spectator, Contributor, PartakerFirst things that spring to mind when intimacy is mentioned usually involves a man, a woman, cute nicknames, a bedroom, closed doors and the music of Barry White. The prelude to that may involve a meal of some sort, but the main course usually doesn’t revolve around something needing a fork and knife. It’s sad […]
Read More The Journey to IntimacyI wonder if the disciples knew what was about to happen. The description of the last few hours Jesus spends with disciples before His arrest as captured in John’s gospel account is fascinating.

By the wrong message, I mean watching the play titled MacBeth which features a central character called MacBeth with the narrative about the rise and fall of MacBeth and leaving it thinking actually the play was about King Duncan. Can you imagine […]
Read More What Is The Story?Growing up often calls for changes. Attitudes and views held can be challenged and discarded. Relationships often take a different path some ending as others begin. Lifestyles may alter along with income and location. There is nothing necessarily wrong with these developments in and of themselves. Problems can arise, however, if arrogance begins to emerge. […]
Read More A Problem With ArroganceWhen it’s a Marvel movie, I’ve now been conditioned to sit through the credits. I sit through the credits because there are meant to be little teasers and hints as to what might happen in future films. Sometimes the hints are good, sometimes they leave you thinking what was the point. Actually, though, there is […]

Sometimes I’ll read blogs or other articles online through my mobile device. either way I enjoy reading. I’ll come across something and it will grab my attention and I’ll be fascinated with it.
