The world we grow up in is the result of decisions made by people before us. Those decisions influence behaviours that set up patterns of existence. In time these become so embedded in society that they become norms. One generation exercises it, the next generation continues it and the following generation takes it for granted. […]
Read More The Rise and Fall of Asa: 2 – A Rise Based on Faith and ObedienceListening to scripture being read has become one of my favourite things to do in life. There’s a dramatised version of the New International Version that I love listening to especially when it comes to texts with the necessary narrative. So whilst listening, I came across 2 Chronicles. I gotta say, 1 and 2 Kings […]
Read More The Rise & Fall of Asa: 1 – ContextWouldn’t it be tragic if you trained for so long and put in the hours of performance in a competition that turned out to be the wrong one. You might not think that would happen. Surely someone would notice and correct things. No one would persist competing in the wrong race. Surely not. Reality is […]
Read More On The Run: EpilogueSometimes we get ourselves in a situation we can’t get out of. So mired in circumstances and mental conditions that coping mechanisms are all we have. In the middle of all that I am grateful that the good news is about God seeing that condition did something about it. Doing something we could never do […]
Read More On The Run: The Home Run“I remember … When they were young, they would fall, hurt themselves and come running to me. They ran to me because I could take the pain away.

Read More On The Run: The Problem in a MemoryThere is a pattern. There is a rhythm. One into the other. One over the other. Not the same thread. Interwoven threads. It’s not clear what’s going on at first. It seems a bit weird the dexterity of finger work and the patience required as sometimes it doesn’t always flow as it appears it should. […]
Read More The Needles and Wool: Wonderfully Knitted TogetherA friend of mine was concerned. He was asked to facilitate a session standing in for someone else. My friend’s concern was how to facilitate the session in the typical way that the absent facilitator would do it. The concern was understandable, after all, my friend didn’t want to upset a routine that people got […]
Read More Does That Suit You?For those of you looking for a piece on Martin Luther and the last book in the Bible, this is not that kind of article. 2 Chronicles 34 outlines an impressive chapter in the life of the nation of Judah. The new king Josiah lives up to the standard of David, one of the few […]
Read More When A Revelation Leads To A ReformationMoreover Blessing It was something Authrine reminded me about. She was talking about how God responded to Solomon’s request. So I went to read 1 Kings 3 and loved how Solomon put himself at the mercy of God to just get the wisdom required to operate in his position as king. That degree of humility […]
Read More Moreover Blessing & Even Though LoveWhen I am asked to do something within my strengths and in line with my passions there is something about me that gets tunnel visioned. It’s as if I block everything out except endeavouring to excel in that area. It can be remarkably useful and also remarkably off-putting to others. As well as that, however, […]
