Among other things that have happened this year has been the growing appreciation for others who excel in the areas I love. I have come across some brilliant creative types who have helped me considerably by displaying their creative prowess. That has reminded me that I got into blogging and persisted in it because of […]
Read More Pilgrim’s EndThere was a time in my life when I did what I wanted to do in as much as resources allowed it. What makes the statement a little odd, is that I was doing that whilst making the claim to be a follower of Jesus. So I would verbally affirm Jesus doing the leading, but […]
