Deep and profound, complex and multi-layered. Full of intrigue and mystical in places. Making you scratch your head and think, making you reflect on action and see just how things are. Some people look for that in their stories and that has its place. There is something, however, to be said about the simple story. […]
Read More A Simple StoryThere is a personal and individual way of looking at things. Am I in shape? Am I fit enough? Am I firing on all cylinders?

He was such a great sportsman, his brilliance brought people to their feet in rapturous applause and adulation.

Read More A Grace Insight: Look Beyond To SeeIt’s interesting listening to what different people say about their experiences of it. I remember being in a small gathering (small in the number of physical occupants, but significantly bigger in other aspects). Someone started singing the hymn, I Stand Amazed.

Meanwhile, what makes this anniversary particularly special is that this will be the only time we celebrate the year of our wedding on the date number. We thought about what we could do to […]

That’s primarily because my Dad is a lot older than me (I know, right, father older than son, whatever next).
