I get it. People will let you down. Those you are expecting to support you the most are the ones that fail you at times when it’s most important. They disappoint you when they slip up and often devastate when they fall. As a result it’s easy for us to chime in with ‘you can’t […]
Read More Not Just Jesus and IAlmost ten years ago I was working somewhere that offered me the opportunity to among other things write a small article every week day.

Owning stuff is something, but knowing that before the stuff there’s knowing I own myself. My words, my thoughts, my actions, my behaviour – all of these belong to me.

Read More Journeyman Journal – OwnershipOne of the best examples of being faithful comes back to remind me about key things about what that concept is and what it is not.
