I dedicate this particular post to a man called Simon Lovatt. It is two years now since I left North Staffs YMCA, in that time it seems like I’ve crammed in quite a lot – enough to forget some other things. Yet I remember Simon who worked at the YMCA. He was a man for […]
Read More Getting Our Hopes UpFollowing yesterday’s entry on self-control being more about God-control and its application in every stage of life, I had another thought. (“Uh oh”, I hear you sigh. It’s alright, I don’t get these thoughts all the time, sometimes I think about other stuff like when am I going to start on the Chicken & Vegetable […]
Read More Glory To God: The War CryI received something of a profound word given to me this morning on my way to work. Such was the profound nature of it, I had to share it with some close and loved ones that mean a lot to me. In essence this is what was said, God has no problem with your bid […]
Read More Self-Control and the Death of SelfOne of the beautiful things about end of year shin-digs is the opportunity it gives you to reflect on the year that was. Last night’s blog post was very important for me to write to encourage myself more than anyone, and thus in as much as I write in the hope that others will be […]
Read More Giving Thanks For What Went On BeforeFirst blog of the New Year and I am not goingo make this too long. So much to say, but I do not want to bore you with it all. Today I was sitting with my brother, his wife and of course my own wife and we were talking about a number of things. Among […]
Read More 2012: On His Terms And ConditionsEarlier on this month I had a short post on walking in the light. I want to spend some time exploring what I meant by what I wrote. Depression is real. I am aware of some well-meaning brothers and sisters who wish to think otherwise. I know some well meaning saints in Christ who are […]
Read More Community: Follow The Light Out Of The DarknessSo as mentioned in previous posts I have been interested in doing audio stuff and with the help of my brother and Audacity, I’ve been messing around with some ideas. LJN is Life’s Journey Notes and as well as the audio stuff, the devotional type stuff is scheduled to be up and running again very […]
Read More LJN Audio 01 – FreedomTime waits for no man (OK other than Joshua, but that was a one off. Alright, so Hezekiah got a bligh as well … but in general it waits for no man). No sooner am I getting over the introduction to responsible adulthood than I’m inducted in the enjoyment of marital bliss. No sooner am […]
Read More Deborah Dryden – Seven Years Old TodayI really love this chorus. Good lyrics and a fine building movement before settling on the whole point of life, let alone gathering. Thankfully now the whole ‘we have come into this house’ applies to any structure in which me and a brother or sister meet up, as the whole of life is dedicated to […]
Read More DMCD Songs: We Have Come Into This House …I sat around today in a family gathering and people were exchanging gifts. Don’t know what that was all about. What it triggered off though was an amazing gift a man, who wasn’t born anywhere near this date, spoke of to some listeners. The context is important. He was talking of how a good shepherd […]
