I have known her for almost 15 years but she is not my blood sister. The change in her over those years have been remarkable. She has matured so much. She has not lost her sense of fun, her humour is sharper than ever. She’s a stalwart among the saints even though she’s still relatively […]
Read More Thank God for … FellowshipIt doesn’t answer everything at all. It certainly helps. I am not sure if this is taking place, though. The process is usually as follows – something happens and those who need to know that it’s happened find out that it’s happened.

Read More AwarenessI can’t remember when the spectre of asthma did not hover over me. At it’s worst I have been hospitalised because of it. More often that not there are times in the year when breathing gets laboured and asthma attacks are triggered. The medical support refer to medication they recommend to keep it controlled. So […]

Read More The Spiritual Cost Of Church HierarchyI remember coming across someone who said that 80% of church work is being done by 20% of the gathered. If my physical body only had 20% of itself functioning, I would be classed as sick. In fact at that amount it would be no surprise if I were on a life support machine. Something […]
Read More Sick BodyThere are cute words in the English language. There is something cute about the word ‘vessels’. You might not think so, but I do and on here that’s all that matters. It’s such a great analogy for the life of a follower of Jesus Christ. We are not our own, but we are made for […]
Read More VesselsCertain episodes in scripture bug me. They don’t bug me because I don’t understand them. They bug me exactly because I do understand them.
