Hymns. Songs really aren’t they? Just another word for songs. Yet when someone says hymns there’s an age expectation on it – it’s gotta be 50 years or older, something like that. Anyway, back in the day (not 50 years as I’m only 34) hymns were the old style music and as a young person […]
Read More DMCD Songs: All That Thrills My Soul Is JesusSo I was in my room watching gospel videos and truly getting into it. By getting into it I meant shouting and hollering and bawling and whooping and jumping and stomping. Almost as though my football team had won something, except this was something that actually mattered. In the comfort and privacy of my own […]
Read More Me & My Private FaithApparently as a song of thanksgiving I’m a bit late posting this song. Balderdash to that!! I’m right on time. I believe I’m alive and the ones I love dearly also remain in the land of the living and thus it’s a time of thanksgiving. This is a superb hymn of thanksgiving especially with the […]
Read More DMCD Songs: Come Ye Thankful PeopleIt seems to be the way we operate. We ask who is the best and to decide that we set up measuring points of achievement and success.

My beloved wife and I managed to grab some opportune moments to watch The Count of Monte Cristo. Based on a novel surrounding a man who was bitterly betrayed and escaped to wreak revenge on those who caused […]
Read More Power Of EmotionsSome of the things that people consider really important are not really that big a deal. Some issues that gets people all upset and argumentative in the larger scheme of things is not really worth the grief. For example the debate over free-will and predestination. Knowing how divisive we can be with useful cloaks of […]
Read More Treating People The Same?God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of […]
Read More Walking In The Light – Part OneI’m sure this is not how community works at all. I’m sure people freely decide to think things through carefully for themselves so they know why they are doing what they are doing. I’m sure people who have views, opinions and beliefs are in no way pressured to do so by their peers and contemporaries. […]
Read More I Wonder If This Is How Community Works?I really love this cartoon. When I saw it, I just chuckled to myself and said “Yes, yes I know the feeling.” Thankfully I believe He is finding community and loving to be a part of it and encouraging the brothers and sisters in it to keep on following Him and being His Body on […]
