I love me some October. It’s a great month. It’s the official end of any hope of summer lingering. It’s the beginning of the cold coming in big time, meaning more warm clothes and reasons to stay inside in the company of good friends and family. It’s the beginning of the last quarter of the […]
Read More Hello October: Dryden Thinks Out LoudIn a previous entry I wrote about self-control. As is often the case, when I write about something, not only is it something that connects with past experience, it also says something about what I am about to experience. Over the course of the day with the various challenges presented to test the capacity of […]
Read More My Dad and MeeknessI love this video on a very important issue for believers to consider. From experience I know that prayerlessness is a precursor to other influences poisoning the well of good communication between God and I. This is well worth contemplating seriously.

Read More Pray Without Ceasing?Do you know how to play to win the waiting game?

Read More All I Do Is Think About YouA friend of the family shared their produce from their field. The variety of the vegetables was impressive. What was even more fascinating was the way they described the way they had to time planting of the seeds to maximise the produce at the right time.

Read More Fruit of the Word – Right on Time (The Fruit Series 19)Previously I had written on how Jesus informed those who would hear how what defiles them doesn’t come from without, but from within.

Read More Fruit of the Word – It Will Produce (The Fruit Series 18)Just some things that came to mind recently: The way we do things, is not the way things have always been done.
