For the longest time, I have loved going around with a backpack. When I went to secondary school my Uncle Joe got me a blue and turquoise Hi-Tec sports bag. It was decent. But it was something else when someone showed me how it could be worn as a backpack. When someone showed me that, […]
Read More BaggageRecently I watched a documentary called The Most Dangerous Man in America. This gave an insight into what Daniel Ellsberg did to release what is known as the Pentagon Papers, a top secret government document that gave startling revelations of the relations America had with Vietnam. The scandal arose around the significant discrepancies between public […]
Read More Dare To Be A Daniel Ellsberg?Keith Giles writes over there at Subversive1. If your Christianity is relatively comfortable because it doesn’t demand that much from you other than to believe that Jesus is out for your best interests and wants you to be happy, warm and cuddly, then you might want to give Subversive a miss. Likewise if you are […]
Read More The Church That Embraces Those Society RejectsPermit me a football reference just at the beginning of this entry. Thank you. Rafa Benitez was appointed the new manager of Chelsea on Wednesday (if like me, you enjoy football, you can read more about it here). He had a press conference yesterday.

Read More Thinking Things ThroughYou may have noticed a couple of posts prefaced with Talking Point. It might be good to get some insight into what’s the point. Blogging is like talking.

Read More What’s The Point With The Talking PointThere are some things that matter, and there are other things that don’t. Some are more obvious than others. For example take a pastime like football. Some have claimed that it is just a bunch of men running after an inflated pig’s bladder to kick it in between three white sticks along a white line. […]
Read More Taking The Wrong Things SeriouslyI love God for putting in my life beautiful people who helped me to deal with real issues from the perspective of being nothing but real. Real with God, real with the close loved ones and real with myself. When I had marital issues, these people didn’t fudge around the issue and talk in buzzwords […]
Read More Dealing With Real IssuesGrowing up with a fascination in systems of power and the stories of justice, liberation, control, slavery means some of my hobbies and interests, pastimes and pursuits would not necessarily be part of the mainstream. At this stage of my maturing process I still don’t have a lot of concrete conviction based answers on certain […]
Read More Is There Not A Cause?I did a degree Philosophy & Politics for three years at Essex University. Before that I did a two year course at A-Level in Theology (as well as English and also Government and Politics). Before that I did a GCSE option in Religious Studies. Throughout this time moral issues and their practical and political implications […]
Read More Briefly Entering And Exiting An Aspect Of The Abortion DebateA few months ago I posted the song by Aaron Keyes about not being guilty anymore, but these talented guys have put a great video to that which is worth watching and taking on board and sharing. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
