It has been a really tiring but interesting past few days. The highlight was yesterday attending the blessing of my niece. It was one of the rare occasions when my sister, brother and I were in the same place at the same time. I love my siblings heaps and heaps so the three of us […]
Read More Grateful For The Blessing Of Being A ChildI just cannot tell you how often being a parent, I feel like I’m parenting myself! I see my attitudes towards my parents in the way my children behave. Though it’s a completely different context and they are genuinely very different people to me (for starters I was never the daughter!) it is amazing how […]
Read More Child Of God, You Will LearnAugust means the Summer holidays. It is the only month in the year where children in compulsory education are not under compulsion to attend school. Back in the day when I was a child I didn’t really look forward that much to holidays and August was a notoriously long month. As an adult I don’t […]
Read More Children Know HowAlmost 15 years ago whilst at university I chose as an optional module to study sociology. As I was majoring in Philosophy and Politics the overlaps appeared natural to me in terms of sociological studies that supported certain political situations and the philosophical values that underpinned both the sociological method and it’s political implications. One […]
Read More Talking Point: Violence on the Screen and in SocietySo I started something when I considered realising potential and then I went a bit further when I explored a little about playing out of position. This is not so much the conclusion of a trilogy as an exclamation point in an ongoing paragraph of life. Most parents would understand the sentiment of wanting the […]
Read More Wanting The Best For Your Children Means Living The BestResearch. You’ve got to love it. The other day it was Father’s Day and because I wasn’t at home my beloved daughters didn’t get the chance to give their Dad his Father’s Day gift, so I finally got it yesterday. (Cool mug – I like mugs.) As I admired the box it was placed in, […]
Read More The Importance Of A Loving FatherThere is a war going on in the hearts of mostly men, although some women are suffering from it as well. That war is for sexual purity. It afflicts single people. It affects married people. If affects the young. It affects the old. If you look around, some people have begun to address the subject, […]
Read More Sexual Purity: The Change When The First Baby Was BornAnother entry inspired by the goings on of the Dryden Family. Deborah is 7 and Abigail is 6. The closeness in age has advantages, they are fiercely protective of each other to outsiders and are genuinely caring and generous girls. (Yeah they get it from their mother!) However as with all sibling issues there can […]
Read More She’s Copying MeChildren 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, […]
Read More Another Thing About Being DadWhen I was a child I had a suspicion, now as a father those suspicions are confirmed. What on earth am I talking about? Bear with me, all will be revealed. I would love to be an interviewer. Some of the learners in my sessions struggle to believe it, but I actually prefer listening to […]
