Reading Proverbs is a bit like reading the Bible it can be done in different ways. There are some who read it from start to finish, but in doing so you recognise it doesn’t necessarily work as a beginning-middle-end narrative book. Yet if you read the first few chapters of the book you’d notice a […]
Read More MTP04 Wisdom: The Key To Forward FocusI’m currently in between jobs and to bring that era to an end I recently had an interview for a post. On my journey there I was reflecting on different things and my mind came onto again the sin condition. I think it’s really sad that this language is only used among certain people with […]
Read More I Digress – The Sin Condition: Prone To WanderRecently I’ve come from a church setting that placed a high value on practicality. None of the pie in the sky when we die stuff. Nothing too aesthetic, philosophical or anything that required too much thought and meditation, as it were. Just do it. There’s a lot to be said for this mentality, this go […]
Read More MTP03 In Then OutIf any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

Read More The Exit Strategy Interview – Part 3So we carry on the interview with meself from the last entry that explored where I am and how I got here. The point of this series of posts is to help uncover some of the issues behind the latest developments with me and the Stoke-on-Trent deal.. When Did You Leave Stoke-on-Trent? Good question. There’s […]
Read More The Exit Strategy Interview – Part 2I’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 1To keep you aware, some of the posts I do have been pre-scheduled sometimes days in advance. Some of them are worked on during the day in a nice neat Word file (OK OpenOffice Writer now) then put up on here. Sometimes however, it’s just good to freestyle blog, almost as if there doesn’t have […]
Read More Just Free-StylingI interrupt the regular stream of blog posts that have been going up like clock-work at 20:10 every day for quite some time (almost as if I had pre-arranged it …) to report on some changes.
