December is an interesting month as far as I am concerned. Of course it’s not the best month of the year. That indisputably goes to its predecessor, November. Yet in December the following significant events took place in my life. 1999 – This was the time when I had a ground-breaking, life-changing encounter with the […]
Read More Introducing Bletchley LessonsIn the last entry I shared a mock open letter from me to God on why I don’t pray. In it you’ll note there are some ‘lighter’ moments, and some more serious things that are said. I would like to tell you that I didn’t mean any of that. To be brutally honest, however, if […]
Read More Why Prayer Is Essential – An Open Letter To YouDear God: Thank you for allowing me the chance to write this letter. I was thinking about actually praying to you, but as you’ll see if I did that it would defeat the whole point of this letter, so I thought this would be more appropriate. And not a prayer. I would like to inform […]
Read More Why I Don’t Pray – An Open Letter To GodThe day and age in which I live is one that is very concerned about practicality. A scientific age of technological developments has given emphasis to what can physically be proven and shown to be efficient and productive. As with most things there is good and bad in those things. Plenty to celebrate for the […]
Read More Spooky ChristianityIt came to me when I woke up this morning. First of all it was the tune. There have been quite a few versions of the song, but the one that was fresh in my mind because it was the one that I had listened to most often was the one by Michael McDonald and […]
Read More Stop, Look and Listen To God’s HeartThere is comfort in the simple things. Keeping things simple means, so the thinking goes, that we can address things just as simply. So all I want is something to eat. So as long as it’s edible and available, I eat and my hunger is satisfied. Simple. I do believe aspects of the human experience […]
Read More Reflecting On The Complexity Of HumanityIt is rather intriguing how narrow my worldview can be. I have a tendency to be fairly insular and have in the past considered myself a bit of an introvert. My recollection of childhood is one where I was familiar with the floors of many places, because I didn’t really have the confidence to look […]
Read More Embracing God’s Gifts In All Its GuisesI wrote an email to a friend today. Back in the day I was encouraged to write letters. It was the time when there was this thing called penpals where you could befriend people from different countries by the power of the letter. I remember starting that. I remember not continuing it after long, because […]
Read More Bringing Me To TearsBob had made up his mind on the issue. He had been out of work for two years, and he was now 50 years old. He didn’t feel he could go back to his last job because it had got him to the point of despair. Other than that his work history wasn’t much to […]
Read More Faith And Being RealisticChristianity can appear fairly grim, sombre and serious at times. Have you ever seen people’s faces while they are singing? If you get the chance, watch a video on YouTube or wherever of people singing and watch it on mute and see the facial gestures. They can be singing about a love so pure and […]
