Demands are being made on me all the time from within and without. There are demands as a child, demands in the in-between years, demands as a single adult, demands as a married person, demands as a parent, demands as a work colleague, demands as a family member, demands as a church member, demands as […]
Read More Demands In The Balance(Please check this week’s Prayer Points) Paper Talk Inspiration The Guardian, as ever objective and in no way leaning to a liberal, humanist and secular agenda, asks the question should schools require Christian worship? This comes at an intriguing time as I just read about the Anabaptist movement which was all for the separation of church […]
Read More The Church And The State – Educating Christopher’s ChildrenThis life thing is so fascinating. When I was at home with my parents and siblings I had to do what my parents (and big sister) told me to do. There was little room for questions and definitely short shrift for any rebellion or refusal (especially from the big sister). As I grew up though, […]
Read More Some Reasoning Going OnThere’s this provocative blogger called Lionel Woods (he’s one of the dudes I recommend in the list on the right). I love his blogs because he does not tow the line, say the safe stuff and conform to comfortable conventional convenient Christianity. Obviously having a blog, he has a Facebook account where he leaves even […]

It’s just that at present getting things back in the order is taking a bit longer than expected because of the new context in which this blogging season […]
Read More Readjusting and RenegotiatingI love excuses. In the sense of the effort that we obviously put to divert the true source of responsibility to something completely inappropriate. When I say I love it, that’s because of the opportunity I get to respond to those excuses, or the chance to see how others will accept the pathetic excuses I […]
Read More 117 Hilarious & Sad Excuses: No. 47 – Nobody’s PerfectThis blog entry was written yesterday. A fair bit of preparation has gone into today’s proceedings, there’s the highlighting of the previous blog I wrote on this very subject. Earlier on today I posted the first musical tribute about today based on my heart’s desire and then around lunchtime I also put together another musical […]
