One of the biggest problems in my life has been to do with condemnation. Well into my late teens and twenties my sense of worth was constantly ebbing and flowing. Sometimes I would feel as though I was loved by Christ and that was all that mattered. Other times I would be very insecure, cut […]
Read More No Condemnation – Not GuiltyHow apt this picture is in the world in which we live. That is reflected in everyone’s favourite conversation starter ‘How are you?’ As you know you can answer in one of three ways ‘Oh I’m fine, thanks!’ Or ‘I’m not too bad, thanks.’ Or you could try the truth.

Read More MasksPart of my story is one of having my ignorance, pride and other ugly things that lurk within exposed to me on a regular basis.

He had been expressing his concerns about how viable the workplace was. It had not been thought out clearly and goalposts seemed to change on an almost daily basis. What […]
Read More Anxiety AttacksOne of the things I appreciate about real talk, is that it can be just that – real talk. Sometimes in church company and certain settings certain language is used, certain phrases, certain gestures, certain protocol that keeps the status quo, but doesn’t necessarily reveal the real.

Read More Decisions, Deletions, Detox and DevotionI was sat in one of the WORST CONFERENCE SETTINGS OF ALL TIME. Now when you’re stuck in one of those there is not that much room to move. You must endure … until the very end … until the very bitter end. What helped to endure was to take mental notes of how note […]
Read More Life: It Doesn’t Get Easier – It Does Get More JoyfulSomething I’ve experienced, and can still be prone to experience, is that there can be a worship problem. (The beauty of blogging is that other people may or may not relate to what I’m saying, but that’s cool, I’m the one whose blogging, it’s my life, so there!) I might have mentioned it before, but […]
