I don’t dance. I have a great sense of rhythm and I appreciate things done in good rhythm. I know a good dancer when I see one and I am blessed to have a household of women who love to dance any opportunity they get and they dance well. I don’t dance. It’s not that […]
Read More Dance with YouCan you be critical of something and be a big supporter of it? Sometimes I get the impression that to support something is to only allow at most some mild criticism, but anything more than that and it is seen as no longer being a supporter of something. If there is a tendency to be […]
Read More Critical SupporterI take it for granted that I was born on Monday 21st November 1977. I take it for granted because I don’t see any reason to interrogate that and consider things any differently. Likewise as I write this blog the time on the bottom right corner of this laptop informs me both of the 24 […]
Read More Another Word On TimeBe yourself, no matter what they say. Recently I spent a lot of the day listening on repeat to a particular track.

Hearing the East Jordan tribes suggest that they would commit to the cause they were called to and encouraging Joshua to do what he needed […]
Read More Confronting the Challenge of the Community Commitment to ChangeThis is such a fascinating video to consider in reading and understanding scripture, I just had to share it. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden
Read More Social Location and Biblical Interpretation (Mark A. Powell)It’s becoming ever clearer to me that I don’t have that much to offer humanity. I don’t say that in a sad and belittling way. It’s a relieving and refreshing realisation because the challenge is then to be getting on with the things that I do have to offer to humanity. Among the bits and […]
Read More It Was Good Talking With YouAs with a lot of things in life, there is nothing wrong with standards in and of itself. Our idea of right and wrong, good and bad are based on standards.
