Here’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 ChangeMy work colleague made me laugh. We were conversing about how we could do anything. Just not do it well. So anyone really can be a singer – that doesn’t mean they will sing well. Anyone can be a chef, but that doesn’t mean you’re in for a great cuisine experience. Anyone can build a […]
Read More Things Could Change(Yes there is a word in the dictionary – according to Oxford’s – called agitant! So there Mr Squiggly Line Under The Word.)

I take it for granted because I don’t see any reason to interrogate that and consider things any differently. Likewise as I write this blog the time on the bottom right corner of this laptop informs me both of the 24 […]
Read More Another Word On TimeReading some of the Proverbs recently, got me thinking. Some read these and consider them to be common sense.
