Wouldn’t that be a great way to introduce you to a blog entry – got nothing to say! Ha. What inspired me to write this post was something posted by one of the writers I look up to in the blogosphere, the great King Arthur. I call him King Arthur, he doesn’t call himself King […]
Read More Got Nothing Good To Say – And Saying Plenty Of ItWhen I was a child I had a suspicion, now as a father those suspicions are confirmed. What on earth am I talking about? Bear with me, all will be revealed. I would love to be an interviewer. Some of the learners in my sessions struggle to believe it, but I actually prefer listening to […]
Read More Favourites and Right-FitsI’m just thinking out loud about some things. Is it the case that you cannot help anyone who doesn’t want to be helped? If so, can you not even help the person to acknowledge the need they have to be helped? Is it part of the responsibility of a believer to generate/stimulate the need, or […]
Read More Thinking Out Loud – Serving PeopleEarlier on this month I had a short post on walking in the light. I want to spend some time exploring what I meant by what I wrote. Depression is real. I am aware of some well-meaning brothers and sisters who wish to think otherwise. I know some well meaning saints in Christ who are […]
Read More Community: Follow The Light Out Of The DarknessI sat around today in a family gathering and people were exchanging gifts. Don’t know what that was all about. What it triggered off though was an amazing gift a man, who wasn’t born anywhere near this date, spoke of to some listeners. The context is important. He was talking of how a good shepherd […]
Read More Abundant LifeI’m sure this is not how community works at all. I’m sure people freely decide to think things through carefully for themselves so they know why they are doing what they are doing. I’m sure people who have views, opinions and beliefs are in no way pressured to do so by their peers and contemporaries. […]
Read More I Wonder If This Is How Community Works?I was watching a documentary on the history of America. A well done documentary it is as well. Encapsulating the development of the nation from its Independence to Barack Obama’s Presidency. Whilst covering the post war years, a comment was made that made my blood run cold. In passing, the commentator, who as is the […]
Read More Someone Will Be Held AccountableBoth sides of the fence, eh? Nothing quite like it. I have clear recollections of being a boy growing up in the family home in Wellingborough. I would get upset about something and feel aggrieved at the injustice of it all and my voice would raise and I’d overstep the mark and my Dad in […]
Read More Do You Know Who You’re Talking To?I have the privilege of working for an Academy that helps young people access employment through the wonderful avenue of apprenticeships. The company for which I work seeks to provide opportunities for young people and to show the way we event employ apprentices. A job opportunity has come up to do an apprenticeship in admin […]
Read More Learning From Jephthah: Counting The CostHow apt this picture is in the world in which we live. That is reflected in everyone’s favourite conversation starter ‘How are you?’ As you know you can answer in one of three ways ‘Oh I’m fine, thanks!’ Or ‘I’m not too bad, thanks.’ Or you could try the truth. Of course you don’t have […]
