There are plenty of interests, relationships and concerns that I would define as ‘a good thing’. My interest in writing, for example, is something I’d call a good thing. Using the opportunity to express myself in words is something in which I take great delight. I relish it. The interest in football I would certainly class […]
Read More Finding What’s GoodI tend to call my beloved wife, “Mrs MacGyver”. This is not because she’s married to MacGyver (to the best of my knowledge). It’s primarily because she displays such a spirit of make-do in whatever situation she finds herself. Her capacity to turn an seemingly empty kitchen into a belly filling gourmet delight leaves me […]
Read More ResourcefulThanksgiving is a beautiful thing. Truly a beautiful and wonderful thing. Today has been a great example of that. I have had the privilege of working under a particular organisation over the last year or so. These folks have been brilliant. They’ve helped me experience what it is to be kinda self-employed and working as […]
Read More Celebrating God in the Beauty of OthersYesterday I sat in a church service and in advance of today’s celebration there was a tribute given to the mothers among them whether members or not. It was beautiful to see gifts and affection shown for the women who do so much to nurture and care for their children and others as well. It […]
Read More The Marvel of MothersI do not often use this blog for prayer request. I have used it for prayer points on the odd occasion, and I’m more than delighted to pray for stuff meself, but I rarely if ever use it to ask you to pray for me for stuff. Dunno why. Just been the way. Until now. […]
Read More Prayer Request – JobsMy beloved longsuffering wife had one of those days. It’s not as though she doesn’t get those days, but even when you have them it is still a test of your emotional capacity and character. She could have told from the start of the day that it was going to be one of those days. […]
Read More When You Have One Of Those DaysToday my beloved wife celebrates her birthday. Now today is not about looking at my marriage and how well that’s gone so far. It’s not the day also to be hailing the qualities of my beloved as a mother – there are plenty of opportunities to do that over the days, weeks and months that […]
Read More Another Thing I Love About My Wife …Having only just returned from a diversion I wasn’t really keen to go on another one as far as this blog was concerned. So the last few days without entries were not my intention, but there is a good reason. As you might recall from Friday, my wife and I celebrated nine years of marital […]
Read More Catching Up On Married LifeToday my wife and I celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary. Birthdays and anniversaries are good times to celebrate what it based on what was in the hope for what will be. Something recently made me think of the significance of the day. I had the privilege of having three good men accept becoming my groomsmen […]
Read More Still Crazy After All These YearsChildren are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. (Psalm 127:3-5a) Fatherhood eh. I have one good friend who is close to becoming a Dad, another who has had the privilege for a few months, […]
