We were talking as we usually do and he mentioned something about someone being upset that they had not been contacted in a while. That started something off in me that was not going to settle down in a hurry. What was at stake was the very nature of church. For some it’s enough to […]
Read More There’s More To It Than That: Church AgainI love me some October. It’s a great month. It’s the official end of any hope of summer lingering. It’s the beginning of the cold coming in big time, meaning more warm clothes and reasons to stay inside in the company of good friends and family. It’s the beginning of the last quarter of the […]
Read More Hello October: Dryden Thinks Out LoudIt’s all the more fascinating reading the things Jesus says to the churches in the early part of Revelation. In as much as those messages were about conditions those churches experienced it still comes across as though Jesus is talking about the conditions that church can be in today.

It was his first time round our place, but he helped himself to things as though he slept there and was another family member. He felt right at home. No […]
Read More Right At HomeI watched something recently that made me sad. I saw things that were meant to be so beautiful, corrupted by the pursuit of money and power. Relationships so sacred were sullied by deception. Interactions designed to help each other were full of mistrust and disrespect. Enforcing this was a system that was more concerned with […]
Read More Let It Grow NaturallyIt has been too long since I have mentioned great blogs that I have come across. My writing continues to be spurred on by the good work that is going on elsewhere. This evening I read a blog about seven keys to body life by the ever excellent Eric Carpenter. There have been a number of […]
Read More Keys to Body LifeWe love this couple. By we, I mean Authrine and I. We love this couple. They are so beautiful together. They are treasures that are now not so hidden and we have the blessed opportunity to uncover more of the riches within them as we engage in conversation. It’s only fair that we divulge ourselves […]
