Getting Back To Squash It had been at least four years since I had last played squash. Back in 2006 I was a regular player and reached my physical peak during that time, as I did that as well as occasionally playing football with the lads at the YMCA on a weekly basis. At one […]
Read More Parables From A Physical WeekAnxiety is something very easy to get. It’s like catching the flu. You’re alright one minute, then the next someone says something to you and all of a sudden, even if on the surface you appear in control, underneath, things are not so certain. I am rather blessed in having the parents I’ve got. My […]
Read More Anxiety, Responsibility And My ParentsSome church discussions are exasperating. I was sitting through one in particular where the brethren were talking about relationships, marriage and appropriate conduct for couples at various stages of their courtship. What was completely assumed was the definition for the key terms, and the other key concept of what church means. So while various traditional […]
Read More My Definition Is This …The question with which I finished a recent entry asked myself the serious question – would I dare to be a Daniel? It would be easy to fall into extremes of the confident ‘yes of course I would, I would do it for Jesus’ or the defeated ‘maybe I’m too weak to risk those that […]
Read More Would I Dare To Be A Daniel?Recently I watched a documentary called The Most Dangerous Man in America. This gave an insight into what Daniel Ellsberg did to release what is known as the Pentagon Papers, a top secret government document that gave startling revelations of the relations America had with Vietnam.

Read More Dare To Be A Daniel Ellsberg?I am grateful big time for the role of Keith Green in my spiritual development. The man perished before I turned 5 years old, so I never got to know the man, but the legacy of the music and the book written about him, No Compromise, made a huge impact on my life. I love […]
Read More DMCD Songs: If You Love The Lord – Keith GreenWhen he sat down after the long day at work, he reflected on all he had. A beautiful wife who patiently tended to his needs and accepted his hard work. Beautiful children who loved to see him and took pleasure in confiding their issues to him, because he was a loving and reliable father. A […]
Read More Damaged Goods in Sophisticated Settings: Why People Need The LordThere was a large glass plated edifice. On it as written by man was the word ‘CHURCH’. It had been there for many a year and over time little had happened to change it, for it was set by the people who had set it up. It appeared to be the way things would be. […]
Read More Church: A Short VisionOne of the things I love about the collection of books that makes up the Bible we read is that they are full of stories. I am very sure that if it was just a statistical book it would be very boring and unlikely to transform anyone. Yet the power is in the story. Something […]
Read More God’s Story, Our Story For Their Story – Not Cutting A Long Story ShortA while back, I had a good friend. One of the things about this friend was just the great loyalty and dedication displayed. The servant heart was something that was somewhat taken advantage of by others. She would often be called because people knew she would be available and would help almost at the drop […]
