Relationships matter. People are a great way that God shows His love and goodness. They’re an insight into how creation really is a work of art as well as a work from the heart. I was having a conversation with a dear friend of mine. She shared her heart to be responsive to God in […]
Read More Journeyman Journal: God and His Works of ArtThere is this thing some of us do to protect people. We don’t tell them everything. Now what is true is this – people don’t need to know everything. They don’t. It is not for them to know each and every aspect of everything we have ever done. That, however, is not what is really […]
Read More Things In The Dark Come Out In The LightIf I were to challenge some to think of a time in scripture when people were told to bow and some resisted, one of the first incidents people would refer to, would be the occasion when Daniel’s three friends – Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah – refused to bow to the image of Nebuchadnezzar.

All that passion channelled into something that in the greater scheme of things counts for nothing. The deathbed scene is often referred to and in that scenario as you breathe your […]
Read More A Word On What MattersThere is a good friend of mine who is gifted with word pictures. I asked him a question about two people and he let fly again with a wonderful way of looking at their relationship. He said that one was the easel in which the other could paint masterpieces.
