I don’t keep a diary, but sometimes I make notes. As a result there are notes of things I have thought over the years. From time to time I enjoy reflecting on those words and where I was when I wrote them. There have been some really dark times in my life. Truly, deeply dark. […]
Read More Thank God for … Dark TimesI love the saying, it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. I have spent years drinking in lots of information from books and visual media. Back in the day my best friend was the library. I don’t regret those days, I read some good books and watched some fascinating documentaries. What has happened […]
Read More Thank God for … ConnectionsThe senses are a wonder. All of them are worth appreciating especially in how they connect with our minds to shape and define our world. Being able to hear is a sense I am keen to celebrate. The worlds that open up at the soundscapes that my ears have been blessed by over the years […]
Read More Thank God for … SoundThere is a big thing about vision in some circles. It revolves around having a bigger picture approach. That is something that has its merits. What I am particularly thankful for, however, is the capacity to see things as they really are. It’s easy to get that horribly wrong via the things we allow to […]
Read More Thank God for … VisionTeaching and training and that kind of thing is a delight and a joy for me. Under all that, though, there is an even greater love of learning.

Read More Thank God for … LearningI have known her for almost 15 years but she is not my blood sister. The change in her over those years have been remarkable. She has matured so much. She has not lost her sense of fun, her humour is sharper than ever. She’s a stalwart among the saints even though she’s still relatively […]
Read More Thank God for … FellowshipI was listening to this couple. They have three children all aged under 13. The couple shared about the tremendous sacrifices their parents and then older siblings made for them. Sitting there, hearing these stories and looking at the way they cared for their children allowed me to reflect on the importance of generations. For […]
Read More Thank God for … GenerationsThe day did not work out as planned. The assignment that needed to be finished was held up for a number of factors most of which were out of your control. You felt off at work with some of your work colleagues and you’re not sure if your manager has the same positive sentiments to […]
Read More Finding Reasons To Be GratefulIt’s a delight to post this blog at this time. Many years ago my Mum was a big fan of my work. She would notice how many different ideas I would make a note of and encourage me to keep these. She saw me take part in school plays and encouraged me to keep it […]
Read More My Mum: Because She’s A Big Fan Of My WorkA decade. It’s quite the milestone. It is a decade ago that I held a small creature newly released into the world. It was the first time I had ever witnessed the birth of a baby. I recall holding her in my hands and tenderly singing her song in her ear. It’s true what they […]
