Are you still with us? I remember getting asked that question by a church leader. He was interested to see if we were still committed to the project. What happened, however, was that there was a confusion between the effort for the Kingdom and the desire to build an empire. In as much as there […]
Read More Committed To The EffortOne of the things I like about blogging is the ability to categorise. It’s interesting noting which categories have the most blogs, it’s a good indicator of what I like to blog about that. One of those categories is Relationships. This evening I was reminded why it is such an important issue to write about. […]
Read More Relationships MatterIt’s clear and obvious, but sometimes we’re slow on the up take. When I was a child (OK, a smaller child), I was eager to grow up and be a man like my Dad. I thought that was the place to be. Getting to stay up as long as you want. Not have to do […]
Read More Some Things Will Have To ChangeOne of the things I have planned to do this year is to make the most of meals. Thank God I had the opportunity to put that in practice yesterday. Leaving Derby last year wasn’t heart-wrenching, but there were some relationships that we developed there that would now have a longer distance to navigate. We […]
Read More Making A Meal Of It – Building RelationshipsI love watching interviews. Good interviews, mind you. I like the set up of the interviewer getting things from the person being interviewed. I love the dialogue that takes place from time to time. It’s particularly good when it’s not just a set up for an entertainment perspective. Where the things being divulged are insightful, […]
Read More Engaging In The ConversationI subscribe to a few things online that help with tidbits of information. A word for the day – not a scripture, literally a word and its definition and history. Among the things I subscribe to is a site called Wise Geek. It’s fascinating getting their emails every morning and reading odd bits and bobs […]
Read More Achieving Goals – Being Part of the 8%And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. (Genesis 1:3-5) Welcome to the start of my […]
Read More Genesis: 1 – Turn The Lights OnI do think it’s important to have plans. Having plans are a good way to focus the mind on worthwhile activity – as long as it is worthwhile activity. I am very grateful for another twelve months blogging. My interest in doing it has increased in recent months and I plan to maintain this. Of […]
Read More What’s The Plan?It’s around this time of year that people come out with their reviews of the last twelve months. I intend to spend most of today doing exactly that from the comfort of my own home. This is something I don’t take for granted. A roof over my head, warm surroundings in cold outdoor weather is […]
Read More Review, ReviseA decade. It’s quite the milestone. It is a decade ago that I held a small creature newly released into the world. It was the first time I had ever witnessed the birth of a baby. I recall holding her in my hands and tenderly singing her song in her ear. It’s true what they […]
