I love words. That’s not the first time I’ve said that and it won’t be the last. It is hopefully something that is fairly obvious from this here blog which is driven by them as well as the Other Place. In as much as I wouldn’t class myself as a high intellectual, I acknowledge that […]
Read More The Word In The Flesh – Not On PaperAlthough I’ve not been blogging, I’ve been able to read other people’s blogs and one that I enjoy is Arthur Sido’s The Voice Of One Crying Out In Suburbia. A recent post he put together on the influence of Western thinking in how we read the Bible is one I strongly recommend reading. Without going […]
Read More Cultural ConditioningI love excuses. In the sense of the effort that we obviously put to divert the true source of responsibility to something completely inappropriate. When I say I love it, that’s because of the opportunity I get to respond to those excuses, or the chance to see how others will accept the pathetic excuses I […]
Read More 117 Hilarious & Sad Excuses: No. 47 – Nobody’s PerfectFrom time to time I get in those phases of thought on issues that concern more than me. Recently, I was informed by a close personal friend that someone I knew was struggling with their sexual identity. Sadly for the individual in question they belonged to certain church-folk who … to put it politely … […]
Read More Community of Compassion or Community of Hypocrisy?I am a blogger. I’ve been a blogger since the end of 2005. I’ve taken the blogging even more seriously over the last year or so. I like blogs. Blogs are like people – they have a voice, they have an opinion, they have an idea and they have a variety of creative ways of […]
Read More Thank You For The Benefit Of Your IgnoranceSo much for the hiatus, eh? There were technical difficulties, honest. Me laptop was playing something silly, but I guess what happened was that I just got used to accessing the little netbook of me wife and got me fingers around how small it is. Indeed as the consolation of the beggar and pauper suggests, […]
Read More What I’ve Been Reading LatelyOver the last few days I’ve been bothered by the saga of Stephen in Acts 6 and 7. It’s what led to this morning’s video entries and subsequently to what I’ve to share at this juncture. I also hope as you make your way through it you’ll see how inextricably linked it is to our […]
Read More The Stephen Trial – Like The Face Of An AngelI’m still amused by the mentality of not talking about religion or politics around the dinner table. Or like in The Godfather where you’re not allowed to talk about business around the family dinner table. Those things make me chuckle. What I chuckle about is how silly that rule is, where else can you get […]
Read More Spiritual and Political – Whether We Like It Or NotI’m not in a tricky position, but I am in an interesting scenario that I reckon one or two people might understand. I’m working for a training organisation that respects equal opportunities and celebrates diversity in no way looking to enforce one view over another (although even that is enforcing the false view of not […]
Read More Anything Wrong With Person-Centred Counselling?Oki-doki, so it’s the blessed Sabbath and I’d usually be embracing these with all the love and joy of someone in desperate need of God’s emblem of eternal rest. Whilst I do so, however, there hangs over me the issue of the move. You’re still wondering where to, and I will update you on that […]
