Do not forsake your friend and your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity. Better is a neighbour who is near than a brother who is far away. (Proverbs 27:10) Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17) One of the entries I’m looking […]
Read More MTP27 – Staying Close To ExcelI’m currently in between jobs and to bring that era to an end I recently had an interview for a post. On my journey there I was reflecting on different things and my mind came onto again the sin condition. I think it’s really sad that this language is only used among certain people with […]
Read More I Digress – The Sin Condition: Prone To WanderSo we carry on the interview with meself from the last entry that explored where I am and how I got here. The point of this series of posts is to help uncover some of the issues behind the latest developments with me and the Stoke-on-Trent deal.. When Did You Leave Stoke-on-Trent? Good question. There’s […]
Read More The Exit Strategy Interview – Part 2I’m not sure if I properly addressed all in one go the developments from being a resident of Stoke-on-Trent working for the North Staffs YMCA and being a member of the Stoke-on-Trent Church of God (Seventh Day) to the current position. I know I’ve blogged on it intermittently, but I thought it might work if […]
Read More The Exit Strategy Interview – Part 1I’ve been outlining where I go from here and did so on the basis that God is one who gives direction and to receive it requires humility and excitement in the knowledge that life isn’t aimless and pure drudgery. In the last entry I also shared some of my hopes about where my writing goes from here […]
Read More Where Do I Go From Here? Beyond TextIt was very good for me to review the trek we’ve got to this point so far. Like Moses in Deuteronomy when you’ve been going a way it is good to recall where you’re coming from because in that you get some clarity in what to beware of and what to embrace as you go forward. […]
Read More Where Do I Go From Here? FoundationsSo where are we now? The first entry of the year gave a good indication that things would be new in a lot of different areas in life. Stepping into this new was not straightforward and some indication of how to get there began with an ongoing awareness of God in all of life which formed the […]
Read More Where Are We Now?I’m notoriously rubbish at saying proper goodbyes. By that I’m not referring to that farewell you give to someone that you expect to see tomorrow or soon. I’m talking about the goodbye that suggests that to all intents and purposes you are leaving that person/organisation/group of people for good. Not to say that communications will […]
Read More Never Could Say GoodbyeAs much as I want to ignore the goings on of this particular time of year I don’t need to on this occasion – it plays into my favour. My dad was never one for these kinds of thing – not a party man, not one for the big festivities and all that kind of […]
Read More Another Step On The JourneyThe biggest achievements started small. The longest journey starts and ends with a single step. Wherever you are in your journey, maybe you haven’t even left the comfort of your own surroundings. There are, though, significant, positive life-changing experiences waiting on the way towards conquering something of eternal value. The invitation has been made for […]
