In recent times things have been a little busy for me. Family life is still the priority for me and that expresses itself in different ways. Paid work takes its time, then there are other responsibilities that demand my attention. In it all it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and then I remember. There […]
Read More Breaking and MouldingWe were doing a group task. Adults mostly over the age of 30, many with young children and many who were coming from hard days at work. I could understand if some of them were tired and just wanted to be fed stuff to passively take in for future reference. Yet all of them were […]
Read More Untapped No LongerIt’s funny how I remember some things. The other day I was reflecting on the account of creation in Genesis. I love contemplating on that beautiful account of God and the world we live in. I was thinking of lessons to learn from the account, like things starting in a mess but ending up very […]
Read More Looking Back, Going ForwardAthletics? Nah. I used to run a bit at school, but in my younger years. Then I got to the stage where I didn’t like running so much. I much prefer walking. As for watching athletics, it was one of the few things my Dad would watch on TV. So I watched races and was […]

Read More A Word On HeadphonesI can imagine it can be a thankless task – Being a defence lawyer when the person being defended is definitely guilty. That cannot be a job you can do and sleep that well at night unless you have set up some strong coping mechanisms. Ones like saying you are performing an important part of […]
Read More Appreciating Other Perspectives and the IndefensibleAmong other things that have happened this year has been the growing appreciation for others who excel in the areas I love. I have come across some brilliant creative types who have helped me considerably by displaying their creative prowess. That has reminded me that I got into blogging and persisted in it because of […]
Read More Pilgrim’s EndNot that long ago I shared how I didn’t always take scriptures in their proper context and treat them properly. Lately, I was challenged about another oft repeated verse. I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. (Psalm 34:1) It won’t take too long to be in certain church […]
Read More Praise and the Defeat of DiscouragementSandra was not going to be like her Mum. At school in her early teens, Sandra’s brash attitude rubbed some the wrong way, but there were some who saw the talent and ability through the bravado. She was cool with the encouragement, she just didn’t want to be told what to do. Especially seeing as […]
