I appreciate there must be a reason for living. While I’m looking for that reason in each issue, I am also realising that God wants us to grow in wisdom day by day. It’s good getting the information, because it helps avoid seeing things as wasted. Even in mistakes and disappointments, there is space to […]
Read More Gaining Wisdom Day By DayI don’t know who holds tomorrow, but I know who holds my hand. It’s the line in a song that offers comfort of one unchangeable in an ever changing world. It’s a great word to hold onto and it has brought some people a great deal of joy. Today it’s reminded of something seemingly completely […]

I remember the occasions we as a family would attend an event spanning a few days. Though the journey to […]
Read More Motivated Mission Must Mean MovementOn the path .. how do you deal with opposition from within? There’s the cry to yield to temptation. To admit defeat to laziness.

There he is sorting out those that pose a threat to his reign. There he is conversing with God in a dream asking Him for the one thing he needs to rule well – wisdom. There he is wisely […]
Read More As Good As It GetsI really shouldn’t laugh, but I do. There’s a man by the name of Louis van Gaal. For those uninitiated in the ways of football (or soccer as my poor cousins across the pond refer to it), Van Gaal is a successful manager linked strongly with the vacant post at Manchester United.

Read More Asking The Wrong Questions AgainRome wasn’t built in a day. Apparently neither was Solomon’s temple built for the Lord God of Israel. There are some real precious verses in scriptures.
