Recently I reflected on what has informed my worldview. In my childhood I asked a lot of questions and usually those questions began with the word ‘why’. For whatever reason those I asked the questions to were somewhat uncomfortable and unsettled by those questions and looked to shuffle me off with a standard line suggesting […]
Read More Streams … For GrowthHere’s how it sometimes works for me. I will read a scripture. There will be thoughts that I’ll have on it and I’ll chew over it. Then I will listen to that same scripture being read – where pertinent listening to the dramatised version which has been a treat. Listening to it will perk up […]
Read More Growing in Knowing Involves a ChangeNewsflash – I love scripture. The recent reason for loving the Word is because of the relationship between Paul and Timothy. It’s one thing for us to see the example of Jesus in front of the disciples. We can see that and say it’s alright for them, they had the perfect example to follow. Yet […]
Read More You’ve Seen Him In Me – Let Them See Him In YouI love reading scripture with others. Whether they are outstanding orators and dramatists or those struggling in their reading. I love it because through it – just the reading of it – I get so much more than just reading it by myself. There’s something to be said for giving that a go as a […]
Read More Reading It TogetherI love Steve. He is among the greatest men I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. Great, because he is a man of integrity. He values the truth, he doesn’t take rubbish. His generosity has benefited many and he is humble enough never to make a big deal of it at all. His […]

This week in particular, scriptures about training have come up big time. Like this one. I read this and in line […]
Read More In TrainingIt would have been easy to blow up and make a big deal of it. I could have sulked for a number of days and plotted my revenge. I could have resorted to refusing to engage properly because of the significant slight that I suffered. I knew better, though. I knew better not because I […]
Read More December Thanks #26: MentorsIt occurred to me again recently that there’s an order to things where I am concerned. I am a writer because I am a reader. If I didn’t read I wouldn’t be as curious and desirous to express myself in writing. In a similar way, I am only ever much of a teacher because I […]
Read More December Thanks #04: LearningCommunication goes a long way to getting things done. Recently I had two conversations that startled me. The first was going very well until we hit a point of contention. We don’t usually disagree, but we certainly did then. No vociferous argument took place, but the nature of contention was significant. Yet we ended that […]
Read More Living and LearningEncouraging others is something I enjoy. There is a great degree of delight in spotting something really good and where possible supporting the individual in doing that more often and developing that for the benefit of others. As a recipient of such encouragement, I know just how good it is to have the backing of […]
