There’s a difference between asking God to search you and introspection. I am very used to introspection. It tends to end up being a long and winding road that leads to nowhere but the very self you’ve always been. The self you’re aware of, the self that keeps things going. It might seem very relieving […]
Read More Search Me O GodYesterday my first born child celebrated her ninth birthday. Deborah is very important to me because she’s my first born. At nine, she is no longer a fragile little baby needing to be fed and changed. In considering her development, I see someone who is more advanced than I was at her age, especially intellectualy. […]
Read More GrowingThere were only three of us. We don’t really know each other that well, but have something in common in following Jesus Christ. We were looking at the section of 1 Corinthians covering chapters 12 to 14. Reading that together and exploring aspects of it – what it meant, what the consequences were in our […]
Read More Reminder To Grow Up – A Study ExperienceI love reading what Kathleen has to say over at Church in a Circle. Learning to enjoy the diversity in the Body of Christ continues to be something I get stimulated by. As I’ve mentioned in highly recommending her blog, Kathleen produces articles that are not just for tickling the intellectual taste-buds, but actually lead […]
Read More Take For Example …I really commend the importance of working in teams. As a loner – although that status is under growing scrutiny – I certainly still enjoy my own company. I get on well with me, and often find myself to be the most riveting of associates. (Did you know I am really funny, I never knew […]
Read More In Praise Of TeamsIt was sad to watch. He was earnest enough and wanted to get his point across. He employed the techniques he’d seen from others and was successful at getting a reaction from the audience. People even approached him afterwards and said they enjoyed what they heard. The truth was, in as much as there was […]
Read More Discipleship, Apprenticeship and PartnershipGetting Back To Squash It had been at least four years since I had last played squash. Back in 2006 I was a regular player and reached my physical peak during that time, as I did that as well as occasionally playing football with the lads at the YMCA on a weekly basis. At one […]
Read More Parables From A Physical WeekThe nature of the work I do allows me to engage with others in the hope that they will become motivated to take on new information, or apply information they are already aware of. As with any group of people, there are some who do not wish to engage fully. They give the impression they […]
Read More What I Love About Working With OthersThere is a phrase that talks about ‘the elephant in the room’. This is meant to address how something glaringly obvious is sometimes overlooked or ignored despite its prominence. When delivering sessions and working on a one to one basis with individuals, sometimes this condition is more than apparent. For example someone who has a […]
Read More The Little Thing and the Obvious ThingI am a loner. My preference has been my own company. Even with a beautiful family of a loving wife and three really awesome daughters, I don’t always love spending every minute of my time with them. Despite being a loner, however, the love of God compels me again to understand that I am nothing […]
