I must confess, I have a soft spot for certain types of junk food. It’s in the best interests of my health that from time to time I stay off them for a period of time, before reintroducing them in the diet. I gotta say, one of the things I like is just the look […]
Read More FilledBlessed. Exemplifying that term is such a varied exercise. But it’s worth while from time to time reflecting on moments to savour to exemplify what it is to be blessed. When I converse with a brother and he inspires me with his insight on what it is to follow Christ. Then we get to practice […]
Read More Moments To SavourWalking with Jesus is not always about walking in the clear. I say that as a man who has a high value on clarity. The reality is, however, there are times walking with Christ where it gets a bit foggy. Jesus is real and He cares and orders my steps. Yet I can’t always see […]
Read More As The Mist ClearsWords, as you may have guessed, are very important to me. How something is expressed determines my response. So for example when I ask someone what they do for a job and they’re not in a paying job at that time, I like it when they say they are ‘in between jobs’. That particular phrase came […]
Read More In BetweenIt’s becoming ever clearer to me that I don’t have that much to offer humanity. I don’t say that in a sad and belittling way.

Read More Staying In Depth Even When You’re Out Of Your DepthsSo that’s the first month of the year done already. I suspect the best intentions of people at the beginning of the year are already being … stretched. That’s understandable, that’s the thing about life getting in the way of our best intentions. As for me, January has been an interesting month. I have the […]
Read More January Review – February PreviewNow these are the rules that you shall set before them. (Exodus 21:1 ESV) How shall we now live? Social arrangements as far as the law are concerned are often taken for granted. Why we do not kill and refer to it being against the law is something that is assumed and hardly questioned. Yet at […]
Read More Exodus Extracts 21 – These Are The Rules Part 1I don’t think there’s much wrong in being honest about motivation. Why do you stay married? Why do you go to that church? Why are working in that job? Why do you support that football team? Not much wrong in being honest and saying you don’t know why you’re still married, you think it’s love […]
Read More Not Much Wrong In Being Honest About MotivationsAs with a lot of things in life, there is nothing wrong with standards in and of itself.
