So last week was kinda dominated by the whole fuss around when the new baby was coming and I have to say going through the updates reminded me that this blog is about a record of my personal journey through life. Like little else I have, a blog gives me a chance to record the […]
Read More Taking Me For A Ride – DVD BonusDo not forsake your friend and your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity. Better is a neighbour who is near than a brother who is far away. (Proverbs 27:10) Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17) One of the entries I’m looking […]
Read More MTP27 – Staying Close To ExcelI’m not sure if I properly addressed all in one go the developments from being a resident of Stoke-on-Trent working for the North Staffs YMCA and being a member of the Stoke-on-Trent Church of God (Seventh Day) to the current position. I know I’ve blogged on it intermittently, but I thought it might work if […]
Read More The Exit Strategy Interview – Part 1So it’s all well and good blogging on this, that and the other – but how am I? How’s the family? What’s going on? Good questions, good questions.

Read More Law & Order: Spiritual Intent – Epilogue – Don’t Be AfraidYou shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbour’s. (Ex. 20:17) Some people can never be satisfied. Their quest for glory seems to be unremitting. No sooner has one accomplishment […]
Read More Law & Order: Spiritual Intent – Question of DesireYou shall not steal. (Ex. 20:15) Exploring the spiritual intent behind the Ten Words that the Lord and Redeemer gives to His people helps develop an appreciation not just for the immediate inter-personal issues, but larger issues of social justice. There is a debate raging about effective and fair economics. Some support wealth distribution whilst […]
Read More Law & Order: Spiritual Intent – Taking What’s RightI’m notoriously rubbish at saying proper goodbyes. By that I’m not referring to that farewell you give to someone that you expect to see tomorrow or soon. I’m talking about the goodbye that suggests that to all intents and purposes you are leaving that person/organisation/group of people for good. Not to say that communications will […]
Read More Never Could Say GoodbyeThe superman complex is what I called it. There was a feeling that because you can help and help so well then you must apply that to help and keep on helping knowing that you can save the day.
