Things happen and sometimes it happens to get us to look at who we are as well as what we do in order to see if it makes sense to persist or to change. April was such a month for that type of reflection. It was done in the company of good people who gave […]
Read More YIR15 – 04 – Sober Reflection for Promising ProgressWhat I recall most about February was the need to deepen relationships. I was blessed to be visited by a dear friend who spent quality time opening my eyes to the riches of Kingdom Living. Having those experiences was a highly inspiring experience and it enthused me even in my work life where I began […]
Read More YIR15 – 02 – Getting DeeperThere are things that bother me and I get caught up with it sometimes. This week for example, there’s a football club doing poorly, so they sack the manager. No problem there, that’s the decision that should be taken when the club is not doing well. What gets bandied about, however, is how some of […]
Read More Who Is It For?Accommodate – give space for, allow room for someone or something. Acclimatise – process of getting used to new conditions. Assimilate – take on the aspects, behaviours and values of the new environment often resulting in resembling the environment. Those are the thoughts that go on in my head when I consider these three terms. […]
Read More Accommodate, Acclimatise, AssimilatePeople would do anything to get in. Poor, abused, hungry, destitute, alienated, damaged and afraid. Told for ages that only the elite can succeed, that only the rich, intelligent, resourceful and well connected will only truly thrive. Injustice and inequity rampages unchecked.

When I walk to the train station I tend to go through the park and do enjoy strolling through it. Yet the Park is not in peak condition. Some families are hesitant to walk through certain areas of the park due […]
Read More A Word On RestorationFor quite a number of years, I was in an environment where for all the noise decrying the state of affairs nothing was done about it. It was not unusual for the state of not doing anything was seen as a virtue. You weren’t being a troublemaker. You were not getting mixed up in messy […]
Read More When Accepting The Way Things Are Is No Longer An OptionLately I was sharing about pointing to the alternative, not long after that I was considering the privilege of pursuing the alternative. That just leaves me to conclude this brief series on the Kingdom alternative by highlighting two of its most compelling features. The peace that’s desired by so many in the world is understandable […]
Read More Peace and Permanence of the AlternativeRecently I shared about what it was to be among those pointing to the alternative when it comes to the way of the world. In that piece I shared the story of an old friend who typified those who saw faith as an additional something to the rest of life. That kind of approach is […]
Read More Pursuing the AlternativeI had the privilege to converse with an old friend recently. I came across him about 18 years ago. He is one of those guys who you can immediately love because he’s such a gently, honourable man. He is not afraid to cry for Go and he’s very sincere in his commitment to God and […]
