I just cannot tell you how often being a parent, I feel like I’m parenting myself! I see my attitudes towards my parents in the way my children behave. Though it’s a completely different context and they are genuinely very different people to me (for starters I was never the daughter!) it is amazing how […]
Read More Child Of God, You Will LearnMy introduction to the Bible was through the Old Testament. When I was a child I read aspects of the Old Testament like a story. I never understood some of the prophetic books. I enjoyed the first bit of Daniel and gave the other bits a miss. Of the first five books, I obviously didn’t […]
Read More Learning From History: We Want One To Rule Over Us (But Not That One)I used to love splashing in puddles. Big or small, it used to be fun to see it and then think about what I would do with the upcoming puddle. Would it be a running launch and two-footed splash? Would it be a sly one-foot splash to wet someone else? Oh puddles were such fun. […]
Read More Loving Puddles AgainI got another lesson in the importance of understanding through helping me daughter with her schoolwork. She’s a bright girl is me daughter (note I’m not being specific for reasons that shall emerge in the fullness of time). She’s switched on and is alert and attentive to what’s going on and can grasp concepts very […]
Read More The Importance of UnderstandingA brief part of the autobiography reveals the following. From 1996-1999 I attended Essex University and after that I lived in London for six months. In a move that would startle and surprise some (like my Mum and Dad) whilst having everything seemingly go my way, I packed up everything and moved to the middle […]
Read More Learning From Your Mistakes – Ten Years OnEarlier in this look at Matthew I had the temerity to suggest that Jesus could get angry and it would not be in our best interests to be on the receiving end when Jesus is angry. I had to read it several times to begin to consider the level of charges that Jesus makes to […]
Read More Insights From Matthew – On The Flipside Of The WoesI was having a chat with a couple of Jehovah’s Witnesses. As ever in their missionary strategy they got round to asking me if I wished to explore the truth further with them along the lines of the helpful literature they have produced. I know it may come as a surprise to you, but actually […]
Read More Nothing But The Truth …DMCD and The Reading Plan There is this really healthy spiritual exercise that brothers and sisters in Christ apply through the calendar year and that is to go through the Bible in a year. The scriptures are arranged in such a way so as to ensure all 66 books are covered in the 365 days. […]
Read More What Is The Deal With A Reading Plan?So Jesus is the Teacher, and as the Teacher there should be some lessons that I’m learning from Him. Every day there are lessons to learn … but I’m not always aware of them. After a certain period of time, though, I do become aware of some lessons to be learnt over that time. For […]
Read More It Doesn’t Really MatterJesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” (John 1:38) Teachers. Apparently you never forget a good teacher. (Indeed, you don’t forget bad ones either, but you get the drift.) Current views on teaching usually revolves […]
