What often triggers it is a visit to the school. There they all are in their uniform, diverse in shape, size, features and ethnicity though they are, they are all in a uniform and are expected to abide by the principles of the school. In itself there’s not too much disturbing about that even if […]
Read More ConformedThere are plenty of things that occupy the mind and they are all competing for space to take prominence in the mind. People make comments, you read something, there’s something on the radio, someone mentions a tune you love, you receive a message with a link to an article, the reminder tells you that you’re scheduled […]
Read More Making the Most of the CapacityI watched something recently that made me sad. I saw things that were meant to be so beautiful, corrupted by the pursuit of money and power. Relationships so sacred were sullied by deception. Interactions designed to help each other were full of mistrust and disrespect. Enforcing this was a system that was more concerned with […]
Read More Let It Grow NaturallyIt is not for everyone to know everything about me. It is not even for a lot of people to know a lot about me. If you’re an intimate, however, it is important that you have access to me and the channels of communication are in the light. It’s important because any hint of things […]
Read More Keep It In The LightYou shall command the people of Israel that they bring to you pure beaten olive oil for the light, that a lamp may regularly be set up to burn. In the tent of meeting, outside the veil that is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall tend it from evening to morning before the […]

Life would make […]
Read More Thank God for … LightAnd God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. (Genesis 1:3-5) Welcome to the start of my […]
Read More Genesis: 1 – Turn The Lights OnWhen I reflect on my life, which I do from time to time, I realise that God loves me. Yeah. That’s right it’s a true story. Here’s what I notice. There are episodes where I need to be corrected and not just corrected on the surface, but corrected at the core of my character. He […]
Read More FoundationalLet me be honest with you. I haven’t always been honest. Sometimes I’ve been downright devious and duplicitous. (Great word to use for something not great at all.) One thing I can say about such moments is that it feels heavy. It feels like for whatever ‘gain’ I get from it is overwhelmed with a […]
Read More The Love Letter of John: 1 – Light WalkersHighlighting what’s wrong can be very easy. Talking about what’s wrong once it’s been highlighted can also be very easy. Banging on about it can also be something that requires little effort. It was the umpteenth time I’d sat through the service taking place the same way that it had happened time and and time […]
