Later on today I’ll write in more detail about the day today. Just to say it is my birthday. 33 years old today. There has to be some perks to your birthday when you hit a certain age. No more is it about the parties and possibly even the cards. Now you look for other […]
Read More Birthday Indulgence – Abundant LifeThis morning my wife and I were talking about expectations. My wife spoke some words that really inspired me to consider the whole thing about expectations. For example there are people who don’t feel comfortable in some church settings. The formality of it, the impersonal nature of it and the ability to hide behind the […]
Read More Change of ExpectationsIt’s not that long before a very key date in my calendar and so in the run-up to it, I feel it’s only fitting to pull out some of the big hitters from what I enjoy and I don’t think it gets too much better than this. Karen Clark-Sheard ably accompanied by Mary Mary putting […]
Read More We Are Not Ashamed – Karen Clark-SheardIt is very difficult to be a follower of Jesus Christ and not be an irritant to your culture. Some succeed in not being a full-blown offence to those around them, but most in one or shape or form make those who live in their culture rather uncomfortable. This is not a deliberate ploy to […]
Read More Upsetting the Status QuoI was hearing someone else talk about Christianity being about ‘a relationship not a religion’ and reflecting on what they meant, but what they actually said.

Read More Not Just For The Sake Of ItI am a positive person. I’m a natural optimist actually. I don’t know who I got it from, or how I got it, but that is the way I am. I haven’t reached the ultimate point of seeing the best in everyone and everything yet, but there is a strong part of my brain that […]
Read More Some People Are Beyond Your HelpJon Gibson. Why I like the guy is not because of his singing. It’s not because of the fact that he’s linked to my man Stevie Wonder. It’s that just like a lot of me favourites, he creates the whole package – the tune, the words, the melody, the feeling, the whole greater than its […]
Read More Friend In You – Jon GibsonThere is an attitude that I developed that was not helpful at all in relationships. That attitude was based on a thinking that if I was right about something and you didn’t agree with it then not only were you wrong, but you needed to be shown the error of your ways and then convert […]
Read More I’m Right – But You’re Not WrongLately I’ve been digging through the corners of my mind. (Not that my mind has corners, I’d like to think my mind works in the round, but I’m taking literary liberties for the purposes of this here statement) So while I was digging I came across me old favourite Andrae Crouch. You know he’s probably […]
Read More CD Songs – Save The People – Andrae CrouchThis may come as a shock and a surprise to you, but I can often be found thinking about things. (Yeah, there you go for the shock of the day – take your time in recovering from that.) As in contemplating them and pondering and wondering. For example today I was minding my own business […]
